DANA WILSON is a celebrated choreographer, performer, movement coach, educator, podcast host, and certified career strategist transforming the lives of creative professionals.
With a career spanning world tours, television, film, live performance, digital media, activism, and more, she brings an unmistakable blend of precision, imagination, and joy to everything she creates. She moves people. Simple as that.
Dana got her first taste of the silver screen in Mike Nichols’ Charlie Wilson’s War. Countless films, shows, and commercials followed (LA LA Land, Shrek, Trolls, Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, SNL, Target, Amazon, Southwest, Verizon, Bud Light to name a few), but she rose to international recognition performing alongside Justin Timberlake on three world tours, the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and countless live performances.
All that said, Dance Magazine calls her “anything but a backup dancer”.
As a choreographer and movement director, Dana’s film and television credits include In the Heights (Associate), Holland, The Morning Show, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, Apple+, and movement coaching for Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis. Additionally, she has collaborated with artists including Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, Paula Abdul, Ke$ha, the Backstreet Boys, Jason Mraz, and more. Dana brings a dynamic, character-driven approach to physical storytelling that is undeniably bright, and timeless.
Beyond performance and choreography, Dana is one third of the wildly imaginative group, The Seaweed Sisters, the creator of Dance +, an Apple top 100 Performing Arts podcast with over 250,000 downloads, and founder of WTMMCOMM, a coaching practice that supports artists in clarifying their purpose and building sustainable careers. Dana is also a founding member and one of the Vice Presidents of the Choreographers Guild– The first ever union to represent choreographers and their teams working in TV, Film, Music Videos and Commercials.
