Your Bettie Instructors

Danielle Lewis  (aka Ms. Bettie) is an original member of the sassy, sultry and sophisticated Brown Betties- a Los Angeles based burlesque act that headlines the hit play Harlem's Night-A Cabaret Story. Ms. Lewis graces the stage as Want- a character who uses her mesmerizing moves to pose the question, "Can I" knowing that she can and will get what she wants! Danielle has also played an instrumental role in choreographing and developing marketing and branding strategies for the Brown Betties.

Orignally hailing from New Orleans, Danielle fell in love with dance under the tutelage of Keny Long at Hollywood High School for the Performing Arts in Hollywood, CA. She went on to study Modern, Ballet, and West African and other dance forms at UCLA, where she also earned a Bachelor's degree in Communication Studies. She has traveled the world as a dancer with Lula Washington Dance Theatre, UniverSoul Circus and the Legendary Paul McCartney. She has acted and danced her way into numerous commercials TV shows, films and theatrical productions and can currently be seen in the Nikon ad campaign (featuring Ashton Kutcher). Also look for her as Jasmine on the new season of the Lifetime series Drop Dead Diva.

Danielle has co-develped several TV shows and recently completed her first screenplay. She is a co-founding member and serves as resident choreographer and dance instructor at Atlanta-based Bridging The Gap, a youth ensemble group that tackles issues through acting, music and dance.

"I came from an environment worn down by generations of poverty. I was an outsider quietly determined not to be a product of my environment. I was always absorbed in books, TV, films. Although I knew deep down I was destined for a greater life, I shied away from my power for far too long. After many years of working on myself and digging deep, I know for sure that "dimming your light" to make others comfortable is short-changing yourself and those around you. I now stand fully in my power knowing that it is the only way to maximize my potential and help others on their journey. And that is my mission- to help people know their purpose and realize their full human potential."

Charmin Lee's multi-faceted career encompasses over 20 years of successful work on stage, screen and television.  She has combined a successful film career with a rewarding TV career.  Ms. Lee has had guest starring and recurring roles on more than a dozen television series and is frequently recognized for her recurring role as Jeanette Wood, Maya's mother, on the hit show Girlfriends.
