IDA SEPTEMBER 2010

Had the pleasure to do photoshoot at Illinois Dance Academy in Joliet, IL. They had two guest Instructors there tonight:
Sonya Tayeh  Sonya Teyah
Sonya Tayeh grew up in Detroit, MI - the home of Motown, Techno, and many forms of inventive dance. Growing up in such a diverse environment, sound and movement became Sonya Tayeh's nature.  Sonya now resides in Los Angeles where she is faculty at the Edge Performing Arts School, and LMU University. She is proud to be represented by MSA Agency for choreography. Her work has gleamed through television screens on So You Think You Can Dance and the new promo commercial for Dancing With The Stars. She also travels the world teaching workshops, intensive master classes, and setting works. 


Following are images from her class on Friday, September 17,2010.
