His experience as a professional dancer, working with some of music’s most iconic artists including Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Mya, *NSYNC, Paula Abdul, Kelly Osbourne, and Toni Braxton have given him a deep knowledge base to build from.

Broadway was Tyce’s first love, and as a teenager and avid enthusiast, it is likely that he has seen every show ever produced, sometimes seeing his favorites up to ten times. He himself has graced the Broadway stage in the Tony award winning shows Chicago and Fosse, and he continues to bring his proficiency and deep affection to every live show he gives life to.

He looks forward to its success, and is committed to expanding the boundaries of theatre and art.

The best things about Tyce Diorio are not his unparalleled work ethic or his unquestionable passion for dance, but rather his keen sense of humor and ability not to take himself too seriously. His work speaks for itself. Those who know, respect, and love Tyce will sing his praises any day.
