| Posted by: Orchesis | | How many of you out there are trained dancers - really trained dancers and singers, not I took a class here and there -but trained as in I have a college degree in the performing arts have performed with a pro/semi-pro company, taught all ages and levels of dance, etc..... I'm just wondering - just something I thought would be interesting to know -
Me?? Which you're thinking right now -yep - college degree in dance/choreography, danced pro-semi/pro jazz co, been teaching for 10+years from Texas to L.A., and taken from all the greats - except Debbie Allen  Been singing since I was 5 - but I don't think I'd ever be famous or anything, I did most of it for fun and hung up dancing shoes last year and opted for the family route - but all I ever encourage people that want to dance for a little while or forever is this when you dance at least be able to say that "I was great when I was in the game!"
Anyway, just wondering out there??? | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: orangegrove | | Don't forget that the Fame auditions were not publicly announced. They recruited from dance and art studios so most all of them, if not all, have some kind of exposure - one way or another. | | Reply To this Message

I too have taken classes from the old greats (Gus Giordano, Joe Tremaine -still around, etc.) ans well as the new greats (John Crutchman,& the West Coast Crew, LA Dance Magic crew and of course Tremaine). And I have had the pleasure of taking master classes from Ms. Allen in the last couple of years!! | | Reply To this Message

That was such a retarded answer on my part 
Sorry, I thought I posted on a question where someone asked if the contestants were absolute raw talents or have experiences of some kind....

| Posted by: FilipinaPryde | | I haven't reached college yet, but I have been taking dance classes since I was eight years old. They include tap, jazz, modern, lyrical, and ballet. I really enjoy it, and I probably will continue to pursue it in the future  . | | Reply To this Message
