tamara levinson choreographer contact: 818-509-0207 TAMARA LEVINSON, was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and grew up in New York City. Being a USA OLYMPIAN in the sport of Rhythmic Gymnastics at age fifteen, she naturally pursued dance as a career. Tamara's versatility as a dancer, aerial artist and contortionist lead her to dancing with MADONNA on three world tours (Drowned World, Re-invention, Confessions). She has also performed alongside great artists such as GWEN STEFANI, AVRIL LAVIGNE, NO DOUBT, RIHANNA, USHER, MANA and many others. Tamara's love for live avant garde theatre coincided with her Argentine roots when she joined the cast of DE LA GUARDA "VILLA VILLA"- Off Broadway in New York City. There she met ingenious director Diqui James and joined his creative team to conceive the still running off broadway hit show... FUERZABRUTA, in which she still performs and is the assistant to the director and show captain. Most recently she integrated the pop star, USHER into their cast. Ms. Levinson also had the great pleasure of working with the legendary TWYLA THARP on Broadway in The Times They Are A'Changin. Film credits include FOOTLOOSE and STEP UP 3-D. The many years of performing eventually lead Tamara into choreography. She has choreographed national commercials, videos and live stage shows for artists MANA, RICKY MARTIN, DAVID GUETTA, DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE, RUSKO and most recently CIRQUE DU SOLEIL'S MICHAEL JACKSON IMMORTAL TOUR. Due to her diverse cultural upbringing and vast dance and aerial knowledge, Ms. Levinson's take on choreography is versatile, powerful, visually pleasing on screen, raw, freshly innovative and creatively expansive. Ms. Levinson has also been teaching Contemporary Jazz with global accents for over 10 years. She has taught at many conventions and dance schools around the world as well as the infamous Broadway Dance Center and Steps on Broadway in New York City. Her classes are demanding, athletic, technical and FUN but most of all Tamara encourages her students to be themselves, passionate, honest and to find a heartfelt opinion through movement. < MUSIC VIDEOS > David Guetta “Alphabeat” Dir.
