MENTORS
Rudi takes his mentors as seriously as a Jedi would Yoda, so it's time to pay homage! During his travels Rudi has been influenced by many inspiring people, and been able to study with quite a diverse group of legends. First his father; Domenico Macaggi, taught him everything he knows about acrobatics, Domenico was an acclaimed teacher at the Fratellini Circus school in Paris, his students are able to use his technique to maintain acrobatic excellence well into their later years with very few injuries. In Paris Rudi also had the pleasure to study with Yoga, Opera, and Variety Theater legend Gino Donatti. In Las Vegas Rudi was lucky enough to find World Renowned Tap Dancing Legend Henry Le Tang, and receive voice coaching from the talented Seth Riggs Vocal Coach Greg Enriquez. In New York fortunate to meet brilliant word smith Steve De Pass "America's Singing Poet". Rudi claims to be old school as most of his favorite masters are septuagenarians!
