Angie J.

Former dance coach of the Gatorettes dance club team at the University of Houston-Downtown. I am a former Admiral during my time as a Nimitz HS Starboard Angel. I earned a full scholarship to become a Cisco Wrangler Bell, but decided to return home to pursue my dream of becoming a professional dancer. I was able to achieve that dream by earning a spot as an MLS Houston Dynamo Girl. As a coach and choreographer at Nimitz HS drill team, my team was awarded “Best of the best teams” at American Dance/Drill Team competition. I was also the director and choreographer of the Nimitz HS Sailor dance crew and was awarded “Best in Class” ensemble at American Dance/Drill Team competition twice in their first year. Recently I have choreographed, directed, and competed at World of Dance Houston, placed fifth with Showtime Studio in 2015 and competed with Soreal Dance Studio placing second in 2014. I have over 10 years of experience as a dancer from being a backup dancer for various artists to choreographing and learning many different genres from ‘The Nutcracker’ to being a professional Samba performer. I’ve trained and competed with many top ranked teams in the Houston area. I look forward to teach and inspire students in addition to enhancing their knowledge of the dance world.
