Brianna Tejeda

I was born and raised in the vibrant Bronx, New York, where my love for dance sparked at a young age. Surrounded by the rhythmic beats of hip-hop, I was captivated by the energy, freedom, and expression that the style offered. At age 10, my family relocated to Orlando, Florida—a move that would deeply shape my dance journey. In Orlando, I joined Xplosive Dance Academy, owned by the incredible Jessica Perez. That decision opened the door to a world of diverse training. I immersed myself in styles like Jazz, Ballet, Contemporary, Acro, Hip Hop, Jazz Funk, Musical Theater, and Ballet. Over time, I developed a particular connection to Gaga, the movement language created by Ohad Naharin, and I became well-versed in Jazz Funk, which allowed me to showcase my versatility and commitment to the craft. After graduating from Xplosive, I took a major step forward by joining the CLI Conservatory. There, I had the privilege of learning from industry legends like Teddy Forance, Martha Nichols, Blake McGrath, Robbie Blue, Sienna Lyons, Alex Komulainen, and Miguel Zarate. My time at CLI expanded my artistic horizons and pushed me to grow in ways I never imagined. One of the highlights was performing in CLI’s black box film FADE, choreographed by the brilliant Jakevis Thompson. Beyond performing, I’m also passionate about choreography. Inspired by the Gaga movement language, I’ve choreographed for several of my peers at my home studio, drawing from my experience and creativity to uplift and inspire fellow dancers. I’m especially drawn to jazz funk choreography, often pulling inspiration from old-school music videos and the way the music makes me feel—it’s raw, expressive, and electric. I’ve also participated in summer intensives with the prestigious MSA agency, Gaga dance labs, and many commercial dance workshops which helped me refine my craft and connect with other passionate dancers and choreographers. While dance is my art, I believe character is just as important. I strive to be determined, kind, intelligent, and fiercely loyal. My commitment to my art and my supportive nature have helped me build strong relationships with my peers, mentors, and the dance community. From the Bronx to Orlando and beyond, my journey continues to evolve. I remain dedicated to my dance career and the pursuit of excellence in every step I take. Now I am signed with Abundance Agency, a new dynamic Miami‑based talent agency. This partnership isn’t just a career move—it’s the beginning of a new era for me in which my talent, drive, and presence are impossible to ignore.
