LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Veteran dancer/choreographer Tanya Karn has joined the cast of the dance company Freelusion as one of its lead dancers.

Known for their title as Best Dance Act and Semi-Finalists in the 10th season of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” Freelusion has been a pioneer in combining modern dance performances with immersive 3D video mapping. The award-winning company is recognized worldwide for its excellence and ability to deliver quality performances across a variety of commercial and private events. Since 2009, Freelusion has performed in more than 50 countries worldwide worked with Criss Angel, the SoulAir Choir, the Hungarian National Ballet and many others.

“Dancing with Freelusion has been a truly unique experience for me,” Karn said. “I have been performing on stage since I was 2 years old, but the video mapping adds a completely different element. Learning to work cohesively and precisely with the lighting designers takes a lot of concentration, but the new challenge has been exciting!”
