Tymisha Harris (aka “Tush”) has been performing professionally as a dancer, singer, actor, puppeteer, acrobat, stunt performer, stilt walker, choreographer, costume designer, and badass burlesque diva for the last 3 decades. Her early credits include assistant choreographer and backup dancer for the ’90s pop group N*SYNC, backup dancer for LFO, multiple roles at Universal Studios Orlando, and a featured role in the hit movie series Bring It On. More recent endeavors include the national tour of Broadway’s Rock of Ages, a European tour with the innovative and world-renowned Pilobolus Dance Theater Company, and founding member and Assistant Director and Choreographer of the successful Orlando based dance troupe, VarieTease.

Combining ferocious dancing, powerhouse vocals, fearless audience interaction, stunning costumes and a delightfully unpretentious sense of humor, Tush has performed her distinct and multifarious style of performing locally, nationally and internationally since 2002. She is a founding cast member of Orlando-based performance troupe, VarieTease and a featured performer with dozens of troupes throughout the country.

In 2015, she was awarded the national title of Entertainer of the Year, and soon after honed her talents and shaped them into the fierce storm that is Josephine, a burlesque cabaret dream play. Her one-woman biographical musical about the legendary Josephine Baker has toured the world, played off-Broadway, and received dozens of awards.

She is excited to share her knowledge and help shape the next generation of performers into confident, well-rounded and skilled artists.
