Rennie Gold
Rennie Gold was born into a show business family. His father, Al Gold, was a vaudeville performer and later a theatrical agent, while his mother, Sherry Gold, was a professional dancer and the founder of The Gold School. Rennie began dancing at the age of three in his mother’s basement studio. By eleven, he had earned his Actor’s Equity card and was performing professionally—touring the country in musicals, dinner theaters, industrials, and with the Sherry Gold Dance Company throughout high school.
In the 1980s, Rennie built a versatile career as a freelance dancer, teacher, and choreographer, teaching at Broadway Dance Center and the David Howard Dance Center in New York City. In 1992, he became a choreographer at Walt Disney World, where he created and directed performances across the Magic Kingdom, MGM Studios, Pleasure Island, and other venues.
Following the passing of his mother in 1996, Rennie returned home to lead The Gold School, carrying forward Sherry Gold’s legacy of excellence in dance education while expanding its reach through innovative programs such as the Project Moves Dance Company. Known for creating choreography that challenges dancers and audiences alike to make the world a better place, Rennie has received numerous national and international Choreography Awards, and served as co-choreographer of the 2000 and 2001 World Tap Dance Champions.
Under his direction, students have performed at the White House, the World Tap Championships, The Joyce Theater in New York City, ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, and Dancers Responding to AIDS’ Fire Island Dance Festival. His students have also been accepted to some of the nation’s most prestigious dance programs, including The Juilliard School, Fordham/Ailey, NYU Tisch, Boston Conservatory, and more. His alumni continue to thrive in film, on Broadway, and in world-renowned dance companies. Rennie remains devoted to his mission—believing deeply that he and his students can change the world through dance.
