about janine m. thompson
Janine M. Thompson, an experienced and well-known professional in the entertainment business, is the founder of ICON Talent, Inc. Born in New York, Janine grew up in sunny South Florida and considers herself a Miami native. She has a long list of impressive accolades dating back to 1995 when she began her professional dancing career with the NBA's Miami Heat. After being featured in numerous music videos and leading six exemplary seasons as a Miami HEAT Dancer, Janine was appointed to the position of Director/Choreographer of the team-- a position which she has successfully held for the past 5 years. She was also the Director/Choreographer of the Miami Sol Patrol - the dance team for Miami's WNBA basketball team.
Under her direction, the team has evolved into a talented group of multi-ethnic entertainers who have received national recognition for their accomplishments. In 2005, USA Today noted the Miami HEAT Dancers as the "Best Kept Secret in the League." Just this year, the Miami HEAT Dancers were crowned the 2007 Dance Bracket Champions to hold the title as the NBA's hottest dance team - an honor they have received for two consecutive years. The HEAT Dancers were even featured in the June issue of the ever-popular FHM magazine! The Miami Heat Dancers and the Heat Golden Oldies--who are also under Janine's directorship-- were asked to perform at the 2006 NBA All-Star game in Houston, TX.
As if managing her own entertainment company and directing two professional dance teams isn't enough, Janine can also be credited for choreographing dance routines for Latin pop sensations Carlos Ponce and Jon Secada , as well as directing the University of Miami Sunsations dance team for 8 years. She also works with various production companies as a choreographer for commercials, videos and industrial shows. Recently she choreographed Julia Kova's Music Video Beep Beep
Janine's creativity, professionalism and vivaciousness have allowed Icon Talent, Inc. to stand tall at the cusp of today's talent
