TJ is an emerging dance artist, choreographer, and educator whose passion for hip hop and performance has fueled an extraordinary journey in a remarkably short time. A student at the University of South Carolina pursuing a minor in dance, TJ continues to invest in his own growth while sharing that same passion and dedication with the next generation of dancers.
His commitment to excellence has earned him the roles of Company Member and Company Captain with Artists Simply Human, along with opportunities to train under respected industry professionals. TJ has also received hip hop scholarships from the Joffrey Ballet and was selected for the prestigious mentorship program led by renowned choreographer Lisette Bustamante.
In the classroom, TJ brings contagious energy, authenticity, and encouragement to every dancer he teaches. He believes hip hop is more than learning choreography—it’s about building confidence, embracing individuality, and discovering the freedom to express yourself through movement. His goal is to create a space where every dancer feels challenged, supported, and empowered to grow both as an artist and as a person.
