An insatiable passion for Dance & Film.

Elise Mattimoe is an English dancer, choreographer, actress and model who moved to the United States at the age of seven. After graduating in 2023 from Windermere Preparatory School in Orlando, Florida, she is attending American Musical & Dramatic Academy (AMDA) at the new Downtown Los Angeles campus, studying a Bachelor in Fine Arts in Dance with a concentration in Commercial Dance as she pursues a career in the entertainment industry.

After moving from competitive gymnastics to competitive dance at the age of 11, Elise was quickly recognized as a natural-born dancer. She quickly acquired the skills needed to compete in group dances and as a solo performer and excelled at regional and national competitions until graduation.

To further her growth in dance, Elise travelled to New York and Los Angeles several times a year throughout her time in high school to learn from renowned choreographers such as Dana Foglia, Rhapsody James, Jaci Royal, Joe Brown, Brian Friedman and many more. She was also one of ten dancers in the The Hatch Pre-Professional Company at Skyra Studios which was approximately 30-hours per week of training outside of high school hours for three years, where she learnt choreography and acting skills and found her passion for film.

Elise boasts a wide range of dance styles at a professional level, including but not limited to; Jazz Funk, Hip Hop, Heels, Contemporary, Ballet, Modern, Musical Theatre, Jazz and Ballroom. She also is skilled in Choreography, Teaching, Directing, Modeling and is Mat Pilates Certified.

As her career continues to grow, Elise’s passion is combining dance and choreography with film, and loves to create new ways to display artistic talent both in front and behind a camera.
