GET TO KNOW YOUR TEACHERS BETTER

I started dancing when I was 7 years old. From a young age I trained myself in different styles; hiphop, modern, contemporary, jazz and ballet. My parents realised really fast that dancing was meant for me and sent me to the ROYAL BALLET SCHOOL in Antwerp, Belgium. After finishing my education at the Kunsthumaniora for Contemporary dance, I moved to Copenhagen, Denmark and joined the International Dance Academy to train in all kind of commercial styles. I’ve traveled to Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, etc. to train myself even more so I can become the best that I can be.

Right now I’m a professional freelance dancer and have appeared on several tv-shows, award shows, music videos, dance productions as a backup dancer.

DALINDA TRABELSI

For this program I will be teaching Urban (Heels) / Commercial. As a female professional dancer it is really important to feel comfortable to dance on heels and be able to do that in all commercial styles! Which I will also explain in my training.

I moved to Los Angeles to train myself and turn into a professional dancer. My mentors are Tre Preston (former senior choreographer for kids bop, main director for millennium dance complex Dallas), Dmac Sandoz (former choreographer for Cody Simpson and Jacob Latimore, Katrina Stuart). Over the years that I've spent in LA, I've trained under various teachers like Cameron Lee, Josh Williams (Taiwan), Shestreet(Sheopatra Jones), Kyle Lester, Laure Courtellemont, Rob Rich, Antoine Troupe, Kolanie Marks, Aleks Samone, Rob Bynes, Brian and Scott Nicholson, Julian de Guzman, Jason Rodelo, Melvin Tim Tim, Superdave, Shotyme, Kennis Marquis , Dexter Carb, Marty Kuldeka, etc.

MATTHEW HARRIS

Hip hop: I’m primarily trained in popping, and bounce hip hop styles as well as b-boying, footwork. I will be teaching Musicality: how I hear music and how you can layer what you hear for multiple forms of interpretation, so when there are empty counts for you to perform, you can make choices faster and more uniquely because you are dialed into the music the way YOU hear it. Use of the negative space (range of motion) contractions

Weight shifting and dancing lightly on your feet and how to press your weight into the ground to utilize deeper depths of

your range of motion.

I am currently 21 years old, I have been dancing since I was 13, dancing professionally since I was 19. I began dancing in Hip Hop & Contemporary, but once my professional career began, my main styles that I dance & teach in are Jazz Funk & Heels. I have trained professionally in Los Angeles and am under mentorship/assistant for two top choreographers - Brooklyn Jai (Jazz Funk) & Brinn Nicole (Heels). This training has allowed me to be able to book jobs & grow my brand into the dance community.
