About 1 — Jeff Teague Performing Arts

Jeff started his career on the 70’s tv show, Romper Room. School choirs, musicals, and accordion lessons followed. At 14, Jeff was fortunate to become one of the youngest performers accepted into the Young Americans, an Academy Award winning troupe of young adult singers and dancers. As a member of Y.A. he traveled throughout the U.S. performing in industrials, special events and stage productions The Young Americans also allowed him the opportunity to study voice and dance with top-notch teachers and taught him to appreciate the beauty of choral singing. Around the same time he began studying ballet at the Diane East School of Dance in Bellflower, California where he remained for the next four years. He continued his studies with 3 years of private voice lessons and was lucky to learn from outstanding instructors who specialized in Modern Dance, Jazz Dance, Music Theory, Music Composition, Acting and Theatrical Make-Up Design.
