Tati McQuay: Difference between revisions

Line 43:

Her first hip-hop teacher was Will "WilldaBeast" Adams at the Rage and Will's first class too ... as teacher. So Tati and Will got historically very close together and Tati got one of the first members of IMMA and joined [http://www.immabeast.co/lilbeasts-1 first LilBeast], ImmaBeast's sub company for very young talents who became later all famous too. Tati stayed in touch with IMMA and now she is older generation of one of the most important dance companies in the world. ImmaBEAST is like a second family to her where everyone has the same interests and goals in mind. It’s a safe place to learn and grow together. At IMMA she met also first time also two her best friends [[Tahani Anderson]] and [[Kaycee Rice]] and formed the girl group "KayHanTi". An innocent childhood friendship, who did kids stuff beyond dancing too, like setup a tend in a room and had a sleepover in it. So the besties got very close together. In the later years Tati kept more in touch with Tahani then with Kaycee for unknown reasons, but they are stll friends. She also met first time another one of her best friends and permanent dancer partner - [[Gabe De Guzman]]. Still these days Gabe is considering Tati as little sister and have quite a history together when they toured together to Philippines, Dominican Republic and Columbia when Tati was somewhere between 13-15 and Gabe 15-17 years old .

IMMA and KayHanTi brought Tati to fame, although she had herself never that breakthrough event in her career to get public eye to justify a wiki page like this for a minor, but now she is an adult and their are no legal obstacles to introduce the incredible young woman. She was on the first dance video of WilldaBeast and people started asking, who the baby girl on the video was, she is damn good too. KayHanTi brought her to fame, because Kaycee got public eye two years before by Katy Perry's tweet and her fame and those many other prominent dancers draw attention to Tati as well and she was seen as part of the dance industry elite. Tati remembered from these days how happy everyone was. They had no clue where all these film shots will bring them one day and just had a blast by dancing, because they loved it. - 'It gets filmed?! Cool!'- They didn't even thinking about social media when people pointed out 'you guys are very good for your age' and they stayed all humble. She feels that the next generation is much more competitive, because they get filmed for social media since their entire career. But when she has started there was no social media and their cared just about fun, friends and socializing; all stayed easy and want to keep it like this.

When she was 9-10 her met first time Matt Steffanina and worked intensively together with him, at the beginning in classes, later on his concept vidios and on conventions as masterstudent or his assistent abroad. Matt and Tati have a long history as well, but of course, the most prominent choreographer in the world has thousends of students. Nevertheless, Matt has taken her under his wing by booking her for jobs as his assistant and taking her around the world with him. Another choreographer who has a big imprint on Tati is [https://www.galenhooks.com/ Galen Hooks]. She loves her style and technique. Galen teaches beside hip-hop a lot of old school retro dancing too and knows the old school pro procedures like setup contracts, marketing, promos, networking, behaviour on set and during shooting, use of agencies and managers etc, and is offering workshops for it, from times when there was no social media. She also loves learning from or dancing with Tricia Miranda, Brian Friedman, Hamilton Evans, Nika Kljun, and JR Taylor.
