Wingfield and I am a professional dancer and aspiring filmmaker!</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 14.0px 'Century Gothic'">I began training at age nine at D.C. Dance Factory in Nashville, TN. At age 15, I was noticed by one of the true pioneers of the arts, Mrs. Debbie Allen. Soon thereafter, I moved to L.A., and went on a full scholarship at the “Debbie Allen Dance Academyâ€(D.A.D.A), where I had the opportunity to train in nine different forms of dance technique. While on scholarship at D.A.D.A, I had the pleasure to do five full-length plays, written and directed by Mrs. Debbie Allen herself. I starred in four principal roles, and served as one of her assistant choreographers on a play she was choreographing, and directing in Beirut Lebanon. I joined Terry Beeman’s Co. for two years, appearing in two of his full length shows; “Bound†and “La Piccolo Concerto. I danced in the 57<sup>th</sup> Annual Emmy Awards in the very first competition of “Emmy Idol.†I also had the experience of being a part of the skeleton crew, for the Paramount Pictures movie “Dreamgirls.†After graduating high school I moved to Las Vegas to be a part of “A New Day†by DRAGONE, starring the world renowned Celine Dion. In 2008 I was one of the “Top 8†finalist on Season IV of “So You Think You Can Dance.†I performed in the “Emmy Award†winning piece choreographed by Tyce Diorio. I have done work recently overseas in OMAN with Debbie Allen, The Kennedy Center, and the Sultanate of Oman. I premiered as the Lead Flying Monkey in the revival of “The Wiz,†as well as being a part of the ensemble cast at City Center in NY 09’. In the fall of 09 I joined the Tony award-winning cast of “In The Heights,†as the principal role of “Graffiti Peteâ€. After Broadway I was on set choreographer for a GE super bowl commercial, and have been Assistant Choreographer to Mia Michaels on the 1st musical episode of “House,†as well as ABC’s Pilot “GRACE.†Most recently I finished work on “Rock Of Ages†Feature Film directed by Adam Shankman. I have been fortunate enough to work for, and train with, some of the most talented Artist’s still around today.</p><div><br></div>
