Maya Addie grew up in Mesa, Arizona, and began dancing at the age of three. She is a graduate of the Ailey/Fordham BFA Program, where she received comprehensive training in both classical and contemporary dance. Throughout her formative years, Maya enriched her education by spending summers training with prestigious institutions and programs, including The School at Jacob’s Pillow Contemporary Program, Abraham In Motion, Joffrey Ballet, Complexions Contemporary Ballet, Alvin Ailey, Giordano Dance, the Rockettes Summer Invitational, and Axis Connect. In 2019, she joined the ensemble of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, and since 2021, she has been a Radio City Rockette. As a Rockette, Maya has performed in a wide range of celebrated productions and appearances. Her credits include performing with Mariah Carey at Madison Square Garden for the CBS Merry Christmas to All special, and with Katy Perry for the Tiffany & Co. Landmark event. She has appeared on national broadcasts such as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, LIVE with Kelly and Mark, The TODAY Show, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting. She has also been featured in campaigns for SKIMS at Rockefeller Center, Sephora with a billboard in Times Square, Google Pixel commercials, and collaborations with Lululemon and KITH. In addition to her work with the Rockettes, Maya performed in the opening number of the Tony Awards choreographed by Emmy Award winning Karla Garcia, and took the stage at the NBCUniversal Upfronts under the direction of Shannon Lewis and Mark Myers. She continues to explore all styles of dance and finds joy in discovering new movements through improvisation and choreography.

This class emphasizes attention to detail, efficiency of pathways, consistency, and clarity of movement while encouraging dancers to explore their own unique style. Together we’ll refine technique, make intentional choices, and develop artistry in a supportive, high-energy environment where curiosity, confidence, and authenticity are just as important as technical excellence.
Class begins with a dynamic warm-up that combines strength conditioning and cardio to prepare the body for movement and build endurance. From there, we’ll focus on precision, musicality, and intentional movement through across-the-floor exercises and choreography.
