I have known Thomas Flagg of Terpsichore Management for over four years. As an international dancer looking to migrate to the United States to work, I contacted him regarding representation. Terpsichore Management is a unique company that gives a dancer the opportunity to be groomed for both the commercial and concert dance worlds. As a manager Thomas takes the time to introduce his clients to influential industry leaders, provides them with opportunities to attend prestigious events in the dance world, guides and hones in on the clients image, schedules meetings and/or auditions with agents and/or dance companies, shares his contacts for promotional material development, and negotiates contracts to the highest degree -- all while keeping the clients best interests a priority. As an international client Thomas assisted me with locating and working with legal consultation to obtain the proper work documents, completing immigration sponsorship documents, finding housing, and provided the constant support necessary to allow me a smooth integration into the American lifestyle and entertainment sector.

Thomas is careful in the clients he selects, knowing they will also be representing him and his company. He scouts various classes at top studios in search of dancers he feels have the potential for success. He is concise about what he can do for them before a business relationship is formed. It is up to the client to decide whether to work with Thomas -- there is never any pressure and his intentions are always clear and in the best interest of the dancer or choreographer. If Thomas decides to represent a dancer, he works tirelessly to assist them in achieving the goals they've outlined. Because of his extensive experience he understands all facets of the business and provides his clients with emotional and honest support. He is 100% available to clients, from anything for a phone call to attending their performances or classes.

Terpsichore Management is more than an agency. It is a company that provides support and guidance to its clients. My experience working with Thomas has been nothing short of professional and pleasant. As a person he is caring, true to his word, and honest (which is a difficult attribute to find in this business). As a manager he believes in you as much, if not more, than you believe in yourself, and promotes you in a positive manner to every person he speaks with. I value Thomas' opinion and friendship and I am sure that anyone who is lucky enough to work with him will feel the same way. A person who takes the time out to come and actually see dancers in class and at work is truly a gift to our industry comprised of agents and managers who are often too busy to meet their clients needs. By working with Thomas I have achieved progress that would have taken me years otherwise, and for that I am sincerely thankful. His company provides what many dancers are missing: someone who pushes for the best conditions and artistic quality. I am truly grateful that Thomas recognized my talent and potential and took the initiative to work with me.
