Rhonda Malkin started ballet when she was 4, tap when she was 6
and then joined in the jazz class at 8. By ten she was in the
performing troupes at her studio. 


While attending UCLA as a sociology major, Rhonda performed as a
Los Angeles Laker Girl for three years and received a
championship ring for the 2000 inaugural season at Staples Center
with the Lakers. She was a Radio City Music Hall Rockette for 12
years and a Rockette Swing (memorizing all 36 Rockette dance
tracks) for seven of those years.


Some of Rhonda's other credits include: "The Producers: The Movie
Musical", “The Academy Awards, The “MTV VMA's”, “MTV Movie
Awards, the film "Beautiful" with Minnie Driver; national
commercials for Sears, Macy's, CBS, “Radio City Christmas
Spectacular” and Westfield Shopping Towns; multiple live stage
shows for Disney's El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood and Hyperion
Theatre at Disney's California Adventure Park and a special
performance in the East Wing at the White House for President
Obama and the First Lady.


After 25 years of dancing professionally Rhonda made the move
into personal training and dance coaching. Since then she has had
59 dancers become Rockettes (most of any dance coach in history),
and many others who are currently working on Broadway, national
tours, music videos, TV shows, cruise ships, NBA and NFL
professional dance teams, regional theater/summer stock
productions, Disney, theme parks, and Cirque du Soleil, to name a
few.
