MICHEL FACE.jpgMICHEL CHARRON

Slowly he began training and exploring his own potential in circus and the possibilities of training full time. After training in England with Tomoko, he moved to Montreal, Canada, and began to learn Chinese pole under the expert tutelage of ex-Cirque du Soleil artists. He has since performed in Canada Korea and Japan.
