family relocated to Richmond, VA, where at a young age, he picked up his passion
for the performing arts.
Glen
began dancing in 2002 at the age of 18, under the direction of Deidre Davis
and Rashida Flemming of the Unique Concepts Dance Academy (UCDA) in Richmond,
VA. At UCDA, Glen took numerous amounts of dance classes in several different
styles, including Jazz, Hip-Hop, Modern, and Contemporary Ballet. In 2003,
Glen Miller Jr. began to study both Broadway and Rhythmic styles of Tap under
the direction of Joe Garafolo at Regency Dance Academy in Henrico, VA.
Ready to take dance to the next level,
Glen decided, by the summer of 2004, to take more classes and to focus more
on technique by joining Bon Air Dance, where he underwent intense Ballet,
Jazz, and Musical Theater classes from Joe and Lisa Garafolo, and several
Ballroom Partnering classes from Edwin Roa. He has also taken a few master
classes in Tap, Jazz, and Hip-Hop in New York City at the Broadway Dance Center.
