ANGELINA SAVAGE – REGIONAL DIRECTOR
In 2024, Angelina Young Savage relocated to Nashville to join EES Agency as an Events & Talent Manager, bringing with her a deep background in live entertainment, talent development, and audience engagement. Her path to this role has been shaped by a lifelong passion for dance, fitness, and creative storytelling.
Angelina’s journey began as one half of the “Tappin’ Twins”, performing and competing up and down the East Coast with her sister. While earning her BA in Dance from Muhlenberg College, she danced with the Muhlenberg Jazz-Tap Ensemble and the Shelley Oliver Tap Dancers. For nearly ten years, she toured internationally with Sesame Street Live, serving as a dancer, singer, understudy, and performance director.
In 2010, she returned to the East Coast to complete her Master’s in Public Relations and Social Media, and quickly immersed herself in the Pittsburgh arts community—holding roles as assistant director of Czarniak Tap!, rehearsal director for Continuum Dance Theater, and marketing manager for Bodiography Contemporary Ballet. She taught dance and movement at institutions like Muhlenberg College, Chatham University, Millennium Dance Complex–Pittsburgh, and the Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter High School.
Her choreography and teaching span both the dance and fitness worlds. Angelina has taught everything from Zumba and Pure Barre to Boot Camp and strength-based group fitness, and she remains actively certified and involved in the fitness space. She’s passionate about building confidence and strength—on stage and in the studio—and continues to teach, choreograph, and coach whenever she can.
Angelina is the founder of Resonance Tap Experience and producer of the Rock City (Cleveland) and Steel City (Pittsburgh) Tap Festivals. Through these projects, she created platforms for tap dancers to train, perform, and connect across generations and geographies.
After a move to Las Vegas, she joined BESTAgencies as the Events, Entertainment & Marketing Manager, producing full-scale productions and themed entertainment for corporate clients while acting as a talent agent.
Today, in Nashville, Angelina continues to blend her creative roots with her production expertise—curating standout experiences at EES, staying involved in the dance and fitness communities, and serving on staff with Thunderstruck Dance Competitions to mentor and inspire the next generation of performers.
She shares life with her five rescue dogs and one endlessly supportive (and formerly dancing) husband.
