DJ & Emcee / Singer / Dancer / Stunt Actor / Choreographer
Colleen’s professional entertainment career has taken her around the world. Her dance training began in Chicago, IL,
and at the early age of 17, Colleen moved to Las Vegas to pursue her dream of performing professionally. Soon after
relocating to Las Vegas, Colleen was cast as a dancer/swing at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino. Shortly thereafter, she
was on her way across the country to Orlando, Florida, to dance at Walt Disney World in the “Kids of the Kingdom” castle
shows where she also assumed the roles of swing, lead, and dance captain. Colleen also had the opportunity to dance in
"Tarzan Rocks" at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, as well as travel overseas for special event shows in Japan at Tokyo
Disney Seas. She has performed at Universal Studios (Orlando, FL), Busch Gardens (Tampa, FL), and has worked closely
with several production companies, giving her the opportunity not only to perform in many special event shows, but also
be a part of the creative teams, working with everything from costuming and lighting design to stage managing and
music editing.
Colleen, known as “MC” to her students, is also the manager of Evolution Entertainment (Orlando, FL), as well as the main
instructor; instructing students of all levels in ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, and tumbling. While teaching and managing at
Evolution, “MC” has also been a part of the faculty at the School of Performing Arts (Maitland, FL) and a guest instructor
at Dussich Dance Studio (Merritt Island, FL). She travels the state of Florida, teaching master classes and workshops, as
well as an annual jazz residency at Dr. Phillips High School (Orlando, FL). “MC” prides herself on her unique method of
teaching, through which she challenges her students to become strong in body and mind, encourages them to always be
themselves, and helps them to see that nothing is impossible!
Colleen has been an adjudicator at many national and regional dance competitions, and has choreographed for
numerous musicals, show choirs and dance/cheer teams across the country. She has also worked as assistant
choreographer for entities such as Celebrity Cruise Line and the Orlando Magic Dancers.
Fun fact: Why MC...? Because she enjoys being called MC by her older students instead of Ms. Colleen. :)
