Michelle Zeitlin's journey began as a classical ballet dancer in New York City. She danced with the Joffrey Ballet Concert Group, and with Michael Bennett on the creation of the Broadway Show, SCANDAL in her early 20's. She was an original FAME Tv series cast member and seen in dozens of commercials.
Michelle has also performed in, produced, cast and choreographed numerous high profile TV projects, feature films, music videos and campaigns over four decades in front and behind the cameras, on stage and offstage--where her grit, resilience, and drive has enabled her and those around her to flourish.
She has coached, consulted and taught at arts conservatories, colleges and
conventions on topics ranging from dance and drama to book and screenwriter pitches and sports entertainment.
As a talent and literary representative, her clients have included "actors, artists and authors" and she is proud of the development of "people and projects" for original content in all media, including over one million books sold for the deal she negotiated on behalf of author Patrice Karst, THE INVISIBLE STRING, with the publisher, Hachette, Little Brown for Young Readers. Of course she is also duly proud to represent Matthew Shaffer on this collective panel- and his two published books.
As the CEO of More Zap Productions & Management in Los Angeles, her outstanding clients have won a Grammy, Emmy, Spirit and Tony award.
Since 2021, Zeitlin has been offering specialty workshops, with mind and body content, in association with leading fitness and dance brands and partnering with major venues for health and wellness events.
