Born in Florida with roots from Louisiana, Rianne immediately knew her God-given talent was dance. With the curiosity of wanting to learn new styles, she joined her first competitive dance team, Labelle Performing Arts, training in Ballet, Hip Hop, Jazz, Tap, and Lyrical.​​

​

After moving to San Diego with her military family, Rianne discovered the heartbeat of hip-hop and the powerful cultural expression within communities of color. She trained at Studio FX and Supremacy Dance Fam, exploring in styles such as Krumping, House, Jazz Funk, Whacking, and Breaking. 

​

At the age of 10, Rianne took the leap of faith to audition for an agency in Los Angeles, and has been signed to Clear Talent Group Agency for Dance and Acting/VoiceOver. She landed her first major opportunity with the LA Sparks WNBA’s SparKids Dance Crew—an inspiring milestone that shaped her path as a young performer. Some of Rianne’s memorable performances as a dancer/performer is for contestant, Aaliyah Moulden, on The Voice, choreographed by Hi-Hat, BET Awards for J. Cole, choreographed by Chloe & Maud Arnold, and the Hollywood Super Bowl, presented by Debbie Allen.

​

Once her parents retired from the military, they wanted to support her dreams and made the decision to officially move to Los Angeles. Guided by her unwavering commitment to growth, she stepped into the mentorship of Debbie Allen and refined her craft at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy, introduced to concert dance and trained in Modern, African, Dunham, and Flamenco.

​

Currently, Rianne Thomas attends Boston Conservatory at Berklee pursuing a BFA in Commercial Dance. With the mentorship from Anthony Burrell, she had the opportunity to be Assistant Choreographer and Co-Captain for the MJ Ensemble, giving the floor for leadership and expressing her creativity. She’s been in residencies with Keenan Cooks and Marcus Allan Cobb, and will be performing their pieces at the Commercial BFA Showcase at the Huntington Theatre on February 6th and 7th of 2026.

​

Grounded in her faith in God and inspired by the dancers who have influenced her path, Rianne now aims to teach worldwide and continue her work as a Christian dancer, choreographer, and performer—sharing the gift of dance with all she encounters.
