Brittany Piech began dancing at the age of 3 with Moves Dance Theater in IL. She studied ballet, jazz, tap, hip-hop, acro, musical theater and acting. By the age of 8, Brittany was competing nationally winning many high scores and scholarships. She also had many performance opportunities such as Nuts and Bolts with Joel Hall, The Christmas Spectacular with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and The Bob McGrath Show at Navy Pier. Some of the dance masters she studied with included Terry Fox, Avnun Yakubov, Van Collins, Marc Wayne, Anne Wayne, Sherry Moray, Missy Ridgeway and Watmora Casey. Besides dance, Brittany was involved in many print and acting jobs. She was chosen to attend the Peter Sklar acting camp in New York and starred in a Subway commercial. She could also be seen as a model in the Speigel Catalogue.

Throughout her Middle School and High School years, Brittany continued to dance competitively with Perseverance Dance Company under the direction of Missy Ridgeway. Perseverance was recognized as one of the top children’s competitive troops in the nation and Brittany won several prestigious dance awards and scholarships. She even signed on with her first agent at DDO Talent Agency. She kept busy by teaching her own dance classes at Dance Dance Dance in Glen Ellyn and choreographing for her high school poms team.

Straight out of high school, Brittany trained at Gus Giardano Dance School in Chicago on scholarship. She trained there for a year and then received the exciting news that she was accepted to train on scholarship at The Edge Performing Arts Center in LA. Brittany decided to move out to California to pursue a professional career in dance. She was very successful and performed in years and years of live stage shows at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood and made television appearances on the Suite Life of Zack and Cody. She traveled to many different countries with Franz Harary as a magician’s dancer/assistant. She began studying Latin Jazz under one of Jennifer Lopez’s choreographers, Gustavo Vargas, and performed in many Latin Jazz shows. She also taught classes at Gotta Dance in Grenada Hills, CA.

In 2014, Brittany relocated to Green Bay to work for Barbs Dance Center, where her dances won many high score and choreography awards. She is now back in Illinois, teaching and choreographing throughout the area, sharing her love of dance with her students.
