Tré was featured in the 2004 internationally-acclaimed documentary “Breakin' In: The Making of a Hip Hop Dancer”, which highlighted her as one of Canada's top rising stars. Her acting debut happened the following year and in 2006 she secured a lead actress role as the character “Michelle” in the feature film “How She Move”. “How She Move” was an official dramatic selectee for the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. It was picked up for distribution by Paramount Vantage with MTV Films, alongside BET Films and was released in theatres in 2008. Although her schedule is busy as a Choreographer, Actres and TV Personality, Tré still finds time to travel worldwide as an instructor to teach dance workshops, seminars and classes. Her new company A New D.A.E.I. is, simply, a new dance academy for the entertainment industry. It was created in 2010 to bridge the gap between the dance community and the entertainment industry. Services the company offers includes audition workshops made specifically for dancers, seminars, an artist development program and of course, a variety of dance classes. Tré is also an avid advocate for youth by supporting and creating international platforms to assist with skill development and life guidance initiatives.
After reaching major plateaus as a dancer, choreographer and actress, Tré continues to grow as an artist herself. Her goal in life is to rise as a philanthropist in order to support and guide youth around the world who need quality, life-empowering engagement through creative arts.
