From our studio… into the world, one step at a time.
Meet the dancers continuing to find their way
At The Brea Space, we’ve never believed in training just for the sake of it.
Over the years, we’ve tried to build something a little different.
A place where technique meets opportunity.
Where mentorship is lived out daily.
Where dancers aren’t just learning combinations…
they’re learning how to navigate what comes next.And every so often, we get to watch that journey continue beyond these walls.
Not as a final destination, but as the next step.
Today, we’re sharing a few of those paths.
Artists who spent time here—through Launch, classes, and the community— and are now stepping into the professional world in their own way.
They’re still learning. Still growing. Still figuring it out.
But they’ve taken the step forward.
And that step matters.
This is a glimpse into where they are… and where they’re going.
If you know dance, you know Autumn Miller.
But even as Autumn's career has reached heights most dancers only dream of, she remains a foundational part of the story at The Brea Space. Because Autumn didn't just emerge fully formed. She trained here. She grew here. She became here.
Today, Autumn has danced as part of the Beyoncé Tour—one of the most demanding, high-profile touring productions in the world. She's performed at Coachella with J Balvin and toured internationally with him. She&rsuqo;s appeared on The Leanne Show, ABC’s Shifting Gears starring Tim Allen, and Nickelodeon's Erin & Aaron. She brought her movement to the Imagine Dragons Bad Liar music video and graced the stage of the 96th Oscars.
And she's still the same Autumn. The same work ethic. The same artistry. The same dancer who showed up every day ready to grow. Autumn is proof that the artist you become doesn't erase the artist you were. It honors her.
When Austin Blaise Lee walked into The Brea Space, he brought something you can't teach: presence. What we gave him was the foundation to wield it.
Today, that presence has landed him in some of the most high-profile projects in entertainment. He's danced for Lady Gaga in the Abracadabra music video, bringing raw artistry to one of the year's most talked-about visual moments. He moved with Doechii in Anxiety, proving his range across genres. He appeared in Tinselcolor: Holidays Soundtracks Live with NKOTB, danced as champion in Netflix's Star Search competition Movement 55, and brought his talents to A Week Away: The Series.
He was also in the Die In Your Arms by Tash Blake. Plus he's danced for Snow Wife in Freaky Like That.
Austin is proof that the dancer who shows up ready—technically grounded, artistically fearless—doesn't wait for opportunities. They create them.

If you watched the Bad Bunny Super Bowl Halftime Show 2026, you watched Reggie Valdez.
Yes. That Reggie.
The Super Bowl Halftime Show isn't just a performance. It's the most watched musical event of the year, a pressure cooker that demands the highest level of preparation, execution, and presence. Reggie delivered.
But that's just the headline. Reggie has also toured with Derek Hough on Dance for the Holidays and appeared in the Hermès Parade A Live Story of the Home Collection, proving his versatility across live performance, commercial work, and artistic spectacle.
Reggie represents the ceiling that exists for dancers who combine world-class training with relentless preparation. The Super Bowl stage isn't luck. It's the result of years of showing up.
Emma Carter is a versatile commercial dancer whose work spans live performance, television, music video, and digital media. She has performed internationally on the Chayanne Bailemos Otra Vez World Tour and appeared in major productions including the Tournament of Roses Parade and The Masked Singer.
Her credits also include music videos for Zara Larsson and Marina, as well as commercial work with Dick’s Sporting Goods x Calia. Emma was part of the digital content-winning piece “Blackbird” at the World Choreography Awards, and has performed in industry showcases such as Gala of the Stars.
A graduate of The Space TV Launch Training Program, Emma has trained under leading choreographers across the commercial dance industry. Known for her adaptability, work ethic, and grounded presence, she continues to grow as both an artist and collaborator across stage and screen.
Look at these names. These achievements. These stages.
What do they have in common?
Every single one of these dancers trained at The Brea Space. Every single one moved through our Launch Program, our open classes, our community. Every single one was prepared—technically, mentally, artistically—for the industry they're now thriving in.
That's not coincidence. That's the design.
At The Brea Space, we don't just teach dance. We build careers. We train dancers to be ready when opportunity calls—whether that's a music video, a national tour, a Super Bowl stage, or a Kennedy Center tribute. We give them the foundation, the mindset, and the community to not just survive the industry, but to lead in it.
Where are they now? They're exactly where they trained to be.
And where will you be?
The same doors are open. The same training is available. The same mentorship, the same community, the same commitment to real artistry—it's all here, waiting for the next group of dancers ready to take it seriously.
Your journey doesn't have to look exactly like theirs. But it can start in the same place.
