"I was the producer on the commercials for Grand Victoria/MGM Mirage Casinos that Michael Schwandt choreographed. He was recommended by our casting director (Renita Whited), and really made the spots happen. He totally got the vibe that both the Director & Agency were looking for, made all the right adjustments as we developed the routine through rehearsals & while filming, and his friendly, professional attitude helped our uptight clients relax so we could get some work done.

He did a nice, detailed breakdown of his ideas based on the director's notes (which were pretty thin), and everyone on both sides of the camera responded to both his positive leadership & style. It was a refreshing pleasure."

"I cannot recommend Michael enough. He is the most professional and dedicated choreographer we have worked with and has incredible patience and creativity in his work. His gentle yet persuasive manner gets the very best out of people and motivates them to push themselves further... and everybody just seems to love working with him. We do prestigious events providing top entertainment, all over the world for high end corporate and celebrity clients, and I was fortunate enough to find Michael in LA having gone backstage to find out whom had done the amazing choreography on a piece we had just watched. We then hired his services for our events, and still continue to use him whenever we can. We even fly him over to the UK for single night performances where budgets allow. He amazed us with the ability to teach multiple routines in a single day to dancers whom he had never worked with before."

"I've had the pleasure of working with Michael on projects in Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Los Angeles. He always comes prepared and ready to rehearse the second he arrives on the scene. He takes his work very seriously even when presented with several challenges (ie: poorly designed stages that are not conducive to dance numbers whatsoever). But he's a true professional with a distinct work ethic that you can see if you watch his videos. I can't wait to see Michael's body of work in 5 years. I'm sure it'll be unique and inspiring."

"His passion for what he does is truly relentless and remarkable. Weather it be choreographing over 300 dancers at a time to stage directing a world tour to creating concepts for music videos or television programs, this man's vision is only matched by his creativity. He is a guarantee to make any production he touches a huge success. His client list is long with complements and thank yous from countless directors, producers, record labels and any one else who has ever used his talents. I highly recommend this man to improve upon or create any concept or project you might have and turning it into something that will always surpass your expectations."

"We have worked with Michael Schwandt now for many years on various national televised college bowl game half-time shows, including those with celebrity guest artists and will continue to work with him for years to come.  He is professional, talented and great to work with!"

"Michael Schwandt is my 'go to guy' for custom choreographed performances.  His work for me at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood and Ballys Las Vegas was peerless.  Each time, the entire experience from conception through the final performance was a pleasure.  Custom performances are crucial to the scope of my events and it is a team relationship. With Michael, I know that I am in good hands as  quality, creativity, focus and reliability are the norm."
