Amanda Tae

Wanting to share her passion for dance with others she continued teaching and choreographing while also performing professionally locally, nationally and internationally. She is a constant and welcome presence in the community schools as a guest artist setting work and educating. As a choreographer she has received praise and recognition for her fresh and artistic approach to dancing. Her work extends beyond the walls of Focal Point Dance Studios to music video sets and concert stages for many artists and companies in the commercial music industry. As a teacher, her students have been honored with titles, high scores and special awards both regionally and nationally. Many of them have continued with their dancing working professionally and becoming teachers themselves.

She has performed and choreographed for a variety of shows, tours and films. She has worked with P. Diddy, Mase, Will Smith, Thalia, Enrique Iglesias, Lenny Kravitz, Paulina Rubio, Alejandro Sanz, David Bisbal, Christian Castro, and Method Man. Her clientele include MTV, Subway, Univision, Telemundo, Emilio Estefan’s Crescent Moon, EMI Records, BMI Records, Universal Records, Sony and Nike. Some of her credits include the 3rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards, MTV VMA’s, Premio Lo Nuestro, Latin Billboards and Subway commercials. Her latest works, Sex Drive, starring James Marsden and Seth Green, and Bachelor Party II can be seen in theaters and on DVD.

Among all her honors and achievements, none are as significant as the creation of Focal Point Dance Studios and Tae Talent. Both were created as a means to bridge the amateur and professional dance industry. The vision and standard of Focal Point is evident by the commitment, passion and excellence of both the students and teachers. While hoping to continuously influence and be impelled by the dance world, she plans on utilizing her multiple outlets to enrich and challenge this art form.
