Kutt N Up
Kutt’N’ Up is an dance family that includes youth from all over the greater Seattle area. Kutt ‘N’ Up’s mission is to succeed in all aspects of life including performance, grades, responsibility and accountability. “I Can’t” is not part of our vocabulary because the sky is our limit.
Kutt ‘N’ Up Entertainment was founded in 2005 in Seattle by Tyrone Crosby and Dwayne Jackson. What started as one competition became a ongoing dance entertainment company. In 2006, Kutt ‘N’ Up extended the dance program from an after-school club to a year round program. Holding seasonal auditions for hundreds of youth in the northwest, Kutt ‘N’ Up Entertainment performs community stories through music and dance.
