Dance has been synonymous with Michelle Televantos for as long as she can remember. Since the age of 4, Michelle has been in perpetual motion, pursuing her love and passion for her craft. 

Growing up in West Chester, PA, Michelle’s training began at The Dance Center.

Michelle also performed with the Xhale Dance Company, Ballet Fleming, Smoke Lilies and Jade Arts Initiative, and Contempra Dance Theatre.

After moving to New York City, Michelle discovered a newfound love for hip-hop and contemporary dance. She became a storyteller, manifested through movement and emotion. Michelle had the opportunity to be featured in a commercial for PA’s Largest Health Care Collective. She also completed a nationwide tour with pop artist JLine and choreographed and performed in the music video for “Let It Out”, the lead single from the debut album of recording artists Rebel Kicks.
