Mary Ellen Thompson’s passion for music and dancing began early, as she begged her parents for dance lessons at age 7 and constantly sang and choreographed dances in her living room, to all genres of music. At age 16 she became passionately interested in mixing vinyl, she trained with top DJs in teen dance clubs, and a year later landed her first professional DJ engagement at the prestigious Marina Towers of Chicago. After receiving a voice scholarship and graduating from Berklee College Of Music, Mary Ellen sang, danced and MC’ed for 20+ years for Opryland USA, Disneyland California, Carnival Cruise Lines, Costa Cruise Lines, Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Disneyland Paris. Mary Ellen’s voice has also been recorded for Walt Disney Records, Metro Beat Records (landing her a rave review in Billboard magazine and a solo performance at the Billboard Magazine’s San Francisco Dance Music Convention), Barbie, Cheerios, Filene’s Basement and New England Telephone. While living in Paris, Mary Ellen had a chance to revisit her love of dance and became France’s 1st chosen choreographer and international presenter for Zumba® Fitness LLC. Mary Ellen is thrilled to return to her home state of Florida and to share her experience and passion for music, dance and DJ’ing with you and your event. Currently DJ’ing/hosting regularly for Planet Hollywood Disney Springs, Wyndham Kingston Reef, Eagle Ridge Mall, Wyndham Orlando, Hurricane Restaurants, Marriott Grande Vista and Hilton Hotels & Resorts.
