Michelle Taghap was born in small town Morris Illinois, grew up in Viva Las Vegas and currently resides in LA. Dance was truly one of her first loves. She started dancing at the age of 3 where she studied ballet and tap. Years later is when she discovered her passion for jazz and hip hop. 

When Michelle moved at the age of 11 she continued to train at various studios in the Las Vegas area. Throughout her years she has performed in countless recitals and dance competitions across the U.S. She has held titles for UDA and USA All Star where she was presented an opportunity to perform in London. She continued her passion in college dancing at the University of Nevada, Reno and thereafter danced her way to be apart of the the NBA D-League Reno Bighorns.

Michelle feels happy and blessed to be apart of the GROOV3 family. She is dedicated to enhancing people's lives through dance and will continue to "inspire change and build communities through the power of dance."
