Jake is originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, where he began his training at CC & Company Dance Complex. He also trained at Next Generation Ballet in Tampa, Florida, under the direction of Peter Stark. Jake Tribus is a 2020 graduate of USC’s Glorya Kaufman School of Dance under the direction of Jodie Gates. Jake has performed on stages including The Joyce Theatre (with Gibney Company and the Glorya Kaufman School of Dance), The Shed (with A Quiet Evening of Dance by William Forsythe), and in 2022 the Fire Island Dance Festival (choreography by Akira Uchida and Micaela Taylor). He has also performed in music videos and on stage for artists including Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Lorde, Backstreet Boys, and Janet Jackson, among others. Jake is the recipient of a 2022 Princess Grace Award in Dance. As you can see Jake has struggled greatly with getting his career off the ground. If anyone has any connections to help him book any type of gig paid or not he would be so appreciative. On the brightside he currently holds the record for most moisturized skin amongst the team at any given KMF meeting and can do an aerial without even grunting or getting a little bit sweaty.
