Milele Academy

Jamie Milele is the founder and owner of Milele Academy, a boutique dance studio built on passion, family, and a deep love for the arts. The idea for Milele Academy began in 2016 while Jamie was having dinner with her son and daughter, Justin and Marissa Milele, who were living in Los Angeles at the time training and auditioning as they pursued their dreams in the entertainment industry. That moment sparked Jamie's vision to create a place where dancers could receive strong training while being supported in a positive and inspiring environment.

Justin is a Nashville, Tennessee native who began dancing at a young age and quickly developed a passion for performance, choreography, and teaching. His strong competitive dance background shaped his career as both a professional dancer and choreographer.

Justin is currently based in Nashville and is known for his high-energy choreography and dedication to training young dancers. In addition to teaching, he has traveled across the United States choreographing award-winning routines and teaching master classes for competitive dance studios. Justin served as a faculty member with Revel Dance Convention for six seasons, working with dancers across the country.

Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Marissa Milele is an accomplished professional dancer, choreographer, and educator whose career spans television, film, live tours, award shows, and major recording artists. Having trained competitively in all genres of dance, power tumbling and trampoline, Marissa developed a strong technical foundation that launched her into the national spotlight.

Marissa gained widespread recognition as a Top 5 Female Finalist on Season 12 of So You Think You Can Dance. Following the show, she joined the 70-city So You Think You Can Dance national tour in 2015. Shortly after, she moved to Los Angeles and booked Ricky Martin's "All In" Las Vegas Residency, which marked the beginning of an expansive commercial dance career.
