Matt Borchers, originally from Saint Louis, is grateful to be on the rewarding, never-ending journey of becoming a “New Yorker.” He has found a new joy in teaching and judging, as it’s a homecoming to his competition roots. He has taught in several studios across the tri-state area, as well as judged for several national dance competitions. Performance credits include: National Tour of Dirty Dancing (Neil u/s), Happy Days at the Westchester Broadway Theatre (Richie) and West Side Story at Music Theatre Wichita (Baby John). Performances at the Lyric Theatre OKC include: Bye Bye Birdie (Harvey Johnson), 42nd Street (Soldier, Shadow Boy), Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat (Benjamin) and Hello Dolly (Cornelius u/s). Matt also performed at the Christmas Show with the OKC Philharmonic, in the musical Holiday Inn at MUNY St Louis and as a dancer on Norwegian Cruise Lines. He graduated with a BFA in Musical Theatre Performance from the University of Oklahoma where he trained not only in dance, but in acting and voice. Follow Matt’s adventures at www.matthewborchers.com
