Michael Eeles has been involved with Shumka since 2011. Both of his brothers danced in the company at the time and he was involved with Shumka School as an instructor and Shumka Dance Camp Recreation Coordinator. The Shumka 60 Tour represents a full circle, as Michael was also involved in Shumka at 50. He plans to retire following this tour. Touring with Shumka has created some of his favorite memories and Michael considers his time with the company a break from real life as a Pharmacist, providing an opportunity where he can focus solely on performing and spending time with his friends.
