Tasheena
Medina

I'm a performer, choreographer, and educator based in Los Angeles. I moved here from Arizona in 2011 to attend AMDA Performing Arts College, where I earned my BFA in Dance Theatre. Since then, I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of exciting projects on stage and screen, including Nickelodeon's AwesomenessTV, as well as Assistant Choreographer to Nicole Berger on FOX TV's Brooklyn Nine-Nine and NBC’s Parks and Rec.

​

Choreography is also a passion of mine, and I've had the opportunity to work on some amazing productions such as Mary Zimmerman’s Secret In The Wings and The Sparrow, for which I was even nominated for an LA Stage Alliance Ovation award. My latest choreography can be seen in Coeurage Ensemble's 2022 production of RENT.

​

In addition to my work in dance, I'm also passionate about educating others through practices like Yoga, Intuitive Dance Meditation, and Social Emotional Learning (SEL). I'm currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Yoga Therapy at Loyola Marymount University, where I'm deepening my understanding of these techniques and how to use them to help others.

​

As an educator, entrepreneur, and speaker, I'm committed to helping people of all backgrounds and experience levels to be authentic, learn essential techniques, and feel safe and supported in their growth and development.
