Miss Renae has been a
student of dance for most of her life. Being a “military brat”, she has
experienced dance starting in England, in Albuquerque, New Mexico and
Fort Walton Beach, Florida. She became a member of the Dance Theatre of
Northwest Florida under the direction of Noreen Poppell. While
there, she danced the role of Spanish as well as being a corp dancer in
“Night of the Nutcracker” and Jewel Fairy in “Sleeping Beauty”. She
then fulfilled a life-long dream of studying in New York City, attending
the American Music and Dramatic Academy with noted Broadway dancers and
choreographers like Lindsay Chambers (Mr. Mistoffelees in “Cats”), Mark
Santoro (Carrie, choreographer of the ’94 and ’96 Superbowl Halftime
performances), and Tracey Bonner (National Tour of “A Chorus Line”).
Since graduating AMDA, she has appeared at the “Pokemon Party of the
Decade” at Bryant Park as Meowth, and in “Philly Dares: Simply
Irresistible” as Gina McMullan and a dancer. She recently filmed in the
Philadelphia 48 Hour Film Festival, and performed in the ensemble of the
New Candelight Theatre's production of "Hello Dolly!" whil understudying
the parts of Minni Fay and Ennengarde. She will be appearing
in the ensemble of the Ocean City Theatre Company this summer. |
