This Week FEB 18-21, 2008
MEET PHILLIP GENIZA
Phillip Geniza was born and raised in San Diego, CA. Since a very young age, he enjoyed performing for talent shows and basically anyone that wanted to watch. During high school he continued his love for performing at a local high school competition called airbands. Along with the end of high school, came the end of airbands. With his desire to perform still burning, he sought out a new platform and found it. He was invited to FORMALity's private auditions by his good friend Dennis Phermsin. In the fall of 2003 he found a new home under the direction of Erik Saradpon. Since then Phillip continued to train at Culture Shock Dance Center under teachers like Sammath Orm, Sherman Shoate, and the wonder duo Sammie Cross and Julie Dismukes. In 2005 he was named Artistic Director of FORMALity's all-male junior team, fLipside. Along with directing fLipside, Phillip also teaches regularly at Studio429 and Mystic Stepper. He directs two more junior groups(RIOT7403 and pg-13) and is also the current Artisitic Director for EKetc's co-ed group, Mass Appeal.
When auditioning for FORMALity I did not at all expect what was to come. Dance has truly become something I PASSIONATELY eat, sleep, and breath. Everyday that God blesses me with, is another day to continue to improve my craft. I enjoy sharing my gifts and everything that I have learned with other people. I will always be a student and will always continue to push myself for my students, for they are my true inspiration.

Less than a year later, he joined the international dance troupe known as Dance 2XS, which was founded by Patrick Chen. He has performed in various shows around the Midwest including Dance Chicago, and has had his work featured in the semi-annual choreographer showcase, Urbanite. Joe credits most of his training to Dance 2XS, but in particular Lee Daniel, who currently teaches at Debbie Reynolds Dance Studio. He now resides in California where he continues his training, while directing his crew back home, 312.

MEET BRYAN TANAKA
For the past 3 years now I have been living in LA working as a professional dancer, teacher, and small time actor. My first love is dance and it has taking me on a journey around the world numerous times. I have toured with artist such as Mariah Carey, Destiny's Child, and am currently on tour with Rihanna. Perfomring in front of hundreds of thousands of people around the world has been the most amazing experience ever. Along with traveling the world I have began to teach throughout the world. Teaching is another huge passion of mine. Being able to share your own creativity and being able to inspire people is an amazing feeling. I take my classes serious but in a fun and relaxed class environment. Meaning I'm a good teacher but am kind of a dork sometimes. On the other tip, acting, I still have yet to really pursue it. Although I had my acting debut on one of the coolest shows out right now, Entourage (season 3 episode 11). I still have soooooooooooo much too learn. But thats next. For now I still have alot of dancing, teaching, and choreographing to do.
