After producing dance programs for the American Sports Network and the livestream platform, FloSports, Michael joined forces with Hal Luftig and Craig Haffner to produce a series of Broadway shows, including Beetlejuice, Children of a Lesser God, Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish (multiple critic’s circle awards), David Byrne’s American Utopia (for which he received a Tony for Producing), Becoming Nancy, and Plaza Suite, starring Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Michael Chapman began his career in the arts at the age of 12, when his mother took her boys to a local dance studio to learn ballroom dancing. It sparked a lifelong passion that turned into a competitive dance career with multiple national, international and world championship titles. After retiring, he launched a series of dance competitions, including the Millennium Dancesport Championships, which grew into the largest event of its kind in North America. Michael is also an award-winning choreographer and coach, developing countless dancers around the world into national and international champions.
