Here is a great case of Billys training Billys. In this case it's Michael teaching a contemporary class at Abby Lee Dance Company in Santa Monica, CA, with Parker Fullmore (white shirt) as one of his students.

Michael was one of 8 masculine dancers to film a video clip for Pink.
I could not be certain which boy was Michael. Others may do better.
But the dancing was totally different from many of the clips posted lately. Masculine and vigorous.

Here's a direct link to that video. Michael is the one wearing a grey sleeveless shirt, near the far right corner at the start of the number. He is featured in a duet around the 56 second spot.

To star in 2108 incl Michael with a clip

Fans of Broadway's Billy Elliot may recognize Michael Dameski. Originally from Australia, Dameski starred as Billy in the Broadway musical "Billy Elliot" in 2008. He's also a competition show pro, having previously won the Australian version of "So You Think You Can Dance" in 2014.
[Michael starred in the Australian season playing in Sydney and Melbourne. He replayed Billy on Broadway, then went on tour

Michael Dameski, moved to the United States to achieve his lifelong dream of being a dancer. The Sydney, Australia native had the lead as Billy Elliot in the musical and won Australia’s So You Think You Can Dance, but has still struggled to make it. Dancing to Shawn Mendes’s “Mercy” in a pair of white leggings and no shirt, Michael gave an emotional performance that had the ladies screaming and judges on the feet. “It was gorgeous. You see dancers, then you see dancers with a quality that seems like they’re flying,” J.Lo complimented. We can’t wait to see Michael dance again in the Duels!

Michael competed on World Of Dance again last night and gave another blow out performance. He choreographed it himself too!
