    About Tanee M.

    Trained in Dance Performance since a young age, and began intensive training at the Idyllwild Arts School in the 8th grade. From there, I attended Southern Methodist University and graduated with a BFA in Dance Performance. I have learned choreography, tap, ballet, jazz, modern, hip-hip, and have a wealth of knowledge about the human body. Once I graduated from SMU, I moved to Los Angeles and began my career as a dancer. I was most recently on tour with Beyonce, and was featured in her "DIVA" music video, off of her "I AM" album. I was also a lead role/dancer, alongside Christina Aguilera in the feature film "Burlesque." I was also featured in "Hairspray, You Got Served, Coach Carter, and Starsky and Hutch." Some other artists that I have worked with are Pharrell, Snoop Dog, The Pussycat Dolls, Missy Elliot, Monica, 112, Nelly, Nick Cannon, Marques Houston, Nick Lachey, Jessica Simpson, Toni Braxton, Busta Rhymes, R. Kelly, and Wyclef Jean. I am a very versatile dancer, and performer. I have 15 years of professional experience, and many tools to draw from as a teacher. I have taught all genres of dance, to all ages and all different types of students.
