Andrew Fee (born June 13, 1979) is an Australian tap dancer, theatrical producer, choreographer and photographer. Andrew is the founder of RAW - an award-winning dance company based in Brisbane. Biography Fee started dancing at the age of six with Pamela LeRay Toso Dancers in Rochedale, Queensland, Australia. Fee studied the foundations of Tap, Ballet, Jazz, Funk, Singing, Acting, Acrobatics & Contemporary competing in Queensland dance eisteddfods from the age of eight. Fee moved over to Kim Bowkett Dance Centre in Coorparoo, Queensland, Australia when he was twelve to further his dance and performance education. Fee worked with many instructors and choreographers from the age of 12-17 years, including Kim Bowkett, Rob Emblen, Dein Perry, Drew Keluski, Kelly Abbey & Todd Mckenney. Andrew Fee founded RAW Dance Company at just 18 years old with the dream of creating a global dance sensation! Looking back that dream has definitely been achieved and then some. Andrew has successfully toured and presented RAW’s many different productions all around the globe; including recently at the New Victory Theater, 42nd Street, New York City. Some of the other locations include Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Malaysia, Japan, China, Taiwan, Netherlands, Belgium and the United Arab Emirates. Andrew's RAW has been quoted as "Untrammeled Energy", and "Expert Hoofers" by the New York Times; Leading European Newspaper, The De Telegraf said RAW was "Spectacularly Talent". Australian Newspaper The Courier Mail said, "RAW is caffeine fuelled double espresso dance!". Andrew continues to be the driving passion behind RAW's success from their humble beginnings to the global company they have become today.
