2- As we continue onto our next legendary dancer who
has been a shaker and a mover in the industry we
turn to our Mr. Michael. Mr. Michael Littlefield
teaches one of our most popular contemporary
classes at Dancers Gallery in Cooper City,
Florida. - We asked Mr. Michael who his person was and after
a few seconds he said Mia Michaels! He then
procedded to tell us a few fun facts about the
well know dancer, choreographer, judge, author
etc. Everyone knows Mia Michaels mostly from her
time on SYTYCD.

5Seek the Uncomfortable
- Seek the uncomfortable is a teaching Mia
Michaels often goes by. A place where a lot of
people do not dare to go. Could this be one of
the keys to her success? We think maybeit is
definetly a factor. Of course Mias upbringing
and journey early on helped as well. Mia was born
in Coconut Grove, Florida, to a family of
dancers. - Her father and dance teacher, Joe Michaels,
taught her jazz, tap and ballet, while her
sister, Dana, taught her contemporary dance.
Though she began her training with members of her
family, she also trained at Miami Conservatory,
the Miami Performing Arts Center and Michigan's
Interlochen Arts Academy, as well as, the New
World School of the Arts.
