Hall Of Fame
Below are teachers who have taught at Bunker Dance Center over the years and who have moved away from Las Vegas to pursue very successful careers outside of our city. Their impact, influence, choreography, classes, and on-going support continue to bless the dancers at Bunker Dance Center.
Napoleon "Buddy" & Tabitha Dumo
Judges and choreographers on So You Think You Can Dance (both America and Australia), Lead Choreographers for America's Best Dance Crew, Hosts for TLC Channel's Rock the Reception, creator of the Nappytab clothing line, and the list only begins here! Buddy and Tab began their teaching careers right here at Bunker Dance Center while attending UNLV and were creating award winning choreography for the Performing Arts Companies here at the studio years before America discovered them as well. From "Millenium Hip-Hop," "Groove Theory," "On the Edge," and "Motown Makeover" to "School of Funk," "This Ain't Kansas," and "Cool Like That" (to name but a few!) their incredible hip hop numbers at Bunker Dance are timeless! We love you Napoleon and Tabitha…You Rock!
Stacey Tookey
Judge and choreographer on So You Think You Can Dance Canada and 2009 choreographer on So You Think You Can Dance America. Faculty member for West Coast Dance Explosion Conventions and former original dancer for Celine Dion's A New Day in Las Vegas. Stacey began teaching at Bunker Dance Center five years ago while dancing in the Celine Dion show and the studio has never been the same since! It is rare to discover a person who is not only an exceptional dancer, but also an amazing choreographer and teacher; Stacey is all that rolled into one! Stacey not only lifted the Teen and Senior Performing Arts Companies to a new level at Bunker Dance Center, but her accomplishments continue to grow as she works as the producer and director of the Top Ten Tour dancers from Canada's So You Think You Can Dance. We are so proud to have had you on faculty for four years. You are beautiful on the inside and out!
Peter Chu
Founder of the contemporary dance company, Chuthis, graduate of the prestigious Juilliard School, 2008 recipient of the choreography position for the New Works Festival (Perry-Mansfield) in Steamboat Springs, CO where he presented a full evening of his own choreography and created the new work, "Then...until Now," teacher for West Coast Dance Explosion, LADF, Dance Masters of America, The Edge, and current faculty member with Monsters of Contemporary...the list is endless! Peter began teaching classes and setting choreography at Bunker Dance Center the fall of 2005 while dancing in the Celine Dion show, A New Day. From the moment Peter began teaching the company girls, their dance horizon was immediately expanded! The contemporary training that Peter brings to Bunker Dance is invaluable. Peter is known throughout the dance world (nationally and internationally) and is truly changing the face of dance today. Wow...Bunker Dance Center is honored to perform your work Peter. You are an inspiration to the dance world!
