Tesia Truitt
Planet Funk

Tesia has been making waves in the entertainment world as director for Planet Funk since the summer of 1998. Tesia, aka. “Hollywood” started dancing at the age of five. Currently residing in Los Angeles, she frequents Houston to choreograph large corporate shows for Planet Funk and teach local performance companies the latest genre in the pop culture. Appearing on film, commercials, and at the least, over 500 live performances, her expertise in all forms of dance have enabled her to guest teach and choreograph nationally becoming one of the most sought after dance instructors. Her classes and workshops attract many students from beginner to professional levels. Tesia has had the pleasure to dance for artists such as Frankie J, Baby Bash, Blu Cantrell, Neil Young and open up for hip hop leaders Lil Bow Wow, Fabolous, Da Brat, LL Cool J, Black Eyed Peas, and Stacy Orrico. She is a former WNBA Houston Comets Team NRG dancer and NBA Houston Rockets Power Dancer for 6 years. Her goal is to bring out the versatility and performance qualities in dancers, helping to prepare them to dance out side of the classroom. It is her intention that her funky diva style is an unapologetic expression of a dancer’s strength, intelligence and passion. Through sheer love for dance, she has acquired a reputation as not only an extraordinary dancer, but also as an exceptionally gifted choreographer.
