Stephanie Klemons is Associate Choreographer and currently the Dance Captain and swing at Broadway’s newest smash HAMILTON! Stephanie is no newcomer to the Andy Blankenbuehler vocabulary, serving as Co-Dance Captain and swing for the original Broadway production of In The Heights, as well as helping to set the same production’s first National Tour as Associate Choreographer. She joined Andy again to create Bring It On as Associate Choreographer for the Broadway, first and second National tours. When the show was out of town Stephanie switched hats days before Opening as she went from Associate Choreographer to playing Alexis, a character in the show’s Atlanta Alliance Theater Production, so she’s really seen the action from “both sides of the table”. She’s provided additional choreography for four brand new numbers in a musical otherwise choreographed by Andy titled Zelda, composed by Frank Wildhorn which ran at Flatrock Playhouse, previously choreographed by Andy under the title Waiting For The Moon. She’s also enjoyed dancing Andy’s shows including the incredible Fly which ran at Dallas Theater Center, choreographed by Andy and directed by Jeffrey Seller and Only Gold, a musical conceived by Andy and scored by pop star Kate Nash.
Non-Andy B work includes the original Broadway cast of If/Then directed by Michael Greif alongside Idina Menzel and Anthony Rapp, the first National Tour of Bombay Dreams directed by Baayork Lee, and playing the role of Amma in New York Children’s Theater’s Tea With Chachaji, which she will be re-conceiving as Director and Choreographer for the New York Children’s Theater 2016 season. Stephanie recently choreographed a Victoria’s Secret commercial with the legendary director, Jeff Madoff, and serves as choreographer for the New Deco Orchestra, a New York Musical Experience, and has choreographed for CBS, The Joyce and New York’s hottest dance team, NBA’s Brooklynettes.
She’s performed and/or choreographed a number of other off-Broadway shows which you can learn all about on her website: www.StephanieKlemons.com (source)
