Professional Summary

Monica Malone has been training since she was just three years old at her mother’s small-town dance studio. She fell in love with telling a story through the art of dance when she was around 14 years old. Since then she has loved to choreograph to every type of genre she can if she is able to tell an entertaining story. Monica attended Sam Houston State University where she was able to study with Greg Graham, Kiira Schmidt-Carper, and Kyle Craig-Bogard. After graduating with a BFA in Musical Theatre and an emphasis in dance, she has continued her love of performing and choreographing throughout the professional world. Her most recent work has been with young adults and kids, which she adores, but is looking to work more adults and gain more professional experience. She is proud to be a body positive activist and fully believes that everyone can dance at any age or size with or without training; they just need to find their groove and Monica is more than willing to groove with them until it is found.

 

Work History

Choreographer and Director Oct – Nov 2018

Choreographer and Camp Director June and July 2018

Various Mini Shows – Forefront Arts, Atlanta, GA

For 8 weeks, each week was a different 30 minute to 60-minute show for the kids’ performance. The size and experience of the casts varied, and adjustments had to made throughout each week. Performances were only one show at the end of each week for family and friends of the kids involved.

 

Choreographer April and May 2017

13 the Musical – Inspiration Stage, Sugarland, TX

Choreographed every song in the show for the teenagers involved. Included bits of improv for them to start to explore their own creativity and help find the joy in dance.
