In 2003, Point.Blank landed a spot as one of 14 local contestants who performed at the "Showtime at the Apollo Tour" in Seattle. That same year, he began taking classes at Westlake Dance Center from Robert Luu, Kenny Harlow, Kari-Lee Florentine, Daniel Cruz, and Cameron Lee. Within the next several years, he became a member of Team Boogiezone BREED - Seattle, Cruz Control, and most recently 2wisted Elegance. As apart of these companies,Isaac was apart of the Boogiezone production "EVE" - Dawn of a New Horizon, Daniel Cruz's "Battle of Seattle", Seahawks half-time shows, Sign of the Times, and Maxt Out. In March of 2008, Isaac moved to Los Angeles, CA in hopes to pursue a professional career in the dance industry.
