TrudyLee Gayle

TrudyLee holds a BFA Honours degree in Dance from York University in Toronto, completed an Independent Study Program at The Ailey School in New York, NY and is a certified barre fitness instructor. She has had the privilege of studying with artists who have been members of some of North America’s most influential dance companies such as PHILADANCO!, Martha Graham Dance Company, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, American Ballroom Dance Theater, Toronto Dance Theatre and The National Ballet of Canada.

TrudyLee works nationally in both recorded and live media. Some of her live performance works include stage productions of MAMMA MIA!, Shrek The Musical, The Wedding Singer, Hairspray, and The Adventures of a Black Girl in Search of God, for which she is a Montreal English Theatre Awards winner. She can also be seen in national TV spots as well as episodics.

As a vocalist and writer she has performed with Toronto based reggae band, Reggaddiction, and also recorded a reggae-dub version of ‘Words’ on their Neil Young cover album. She also enjoys lending her talents to various tribute shows both local and afar. She sometimes performs as 'Scary Spice' with Wannabe: A Spice Girls Tribute, and joined them on their nearly sold out Canadian west coast tour in the fall of 2019. TrudyLee also performs nationally with the cast of Legends of Motown.

She has choreographed for studios and schools within the Greater Toronto Area as well as city-wide events and initiatives for the City of Toronto and beyond. Most recently she choreographed for an experimental short film for which she also co-produced and co-artistic directed, which she hopes to release later this fall.
