Dancer, and Memphian, Makes It to Hollywood and Back - Brandee Evans Comes Back to Encourage, Inspire, and Lead Young Talent at DanzHouse, a Local Dance Studio

Memphis, TN, November 19, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Dancer & Choreographer, Brandee Evans--fresh off a dancing gig with songstress Katy Perry on SNL--is coming back to where it all started. After getting some much deserved Hollywood shine on one of the country’s most celebrated late night TV shows, Brandee’s coming back to lead a workshop that not only allows her to share her talent and passion; but also the insight she’s gleaned from performing with some of the top acts in entertainment.

The one-of-a-kind workshop, will be held at Danzhouse on Saturday, November 27, 2010 at 12 noon. The workshop is free to Danzhouse students. Tickets for general public admission are $20 per person. As part of the workshop, dancers will have the opportunity to participate in a question and answer session with Brandee, as well as learn some of the latest dance tips and techniques being used by some of the country’s leading performers.

Studio owners, Kathalene Taylor-White and Vera Dantzler are very excited about the opportunity to have their young dancers meet and take class with such a prolific dancer.

“We have several girls that hope to dance professionally in LA, or on Broadway in NY,” says co-owner Kathalene Taylor-White. “So having Brandee here to teach and speak is a great way for them to be exposed to the realities of the dancing profession. And to hear about it straight from the source.”

“Both Vera and I danced on the Memphis Grizzlies dance team under the direction of Kathalene for 4 years,” says Brandee, nostalgically. “So the three of us have a great respect for one another, and were truly excited about giving the girls at Danzhouse a real glimpse into what it’s like to be a professional dancer.”

The former High School English teacher taught at Bolton High, Germantown High and Southwind High School, and is currently on tour with Katy Perry.
