BRIANA COHEN
BIOGRAPHY

At age 11, Briana began to express her aptitude and affinity for dance, exploring an array of genres: jazz, funk, ballet, tap and hip hop. She completed VCE dance in 2007.

Recently, at 17, Briana underwent a gradual enlightenment. Starting to take dance more seriously, she began training weekly at United Styles, while simultaneously taking classes at The Space and Patrick studios Australia where her dancing, previously a hobby, transformed into a passion.

Her chosen style being Hip hop, she continued to develop her skills as a hip hop dancer, learning first hand from some of the best. Her hip-hop fate was sealed, when after auditioning she was recruited into the Beatphonik crew and became an official member in 2008.

At present Briana continues to develop and refine her skills as a dancer through training in different styles of dance.
