Over the years Dee Miller has come to be known as Miss Thang, the hottest dancer in Chicago's club scene. A former tap dancing prodigy. Dee now lives off her mother and occasionally braids hair in her mother's salon for spending money. She continually ignores everyone's plea for her to grow up and become a responsible adult. Dee is confronted with reality when her mother's gambling habit puts everything that they hold dear in jeopardy. She must now find a way to salvage their family finances, as well as her relationship with her mother. Dee's only comfort in these trying times is a new friend who re-introduces her to the world of tap dancing, an art form that has always been close to her heart.

Welcome
Greetings and welcome to our Miss Thang at HBFF page! The Miss Thang Cast and Crew are really excited to be premiering at the 2007 Hollywood Black Film Festival. We can't wait to see the film on the big screen in front of an enthusiastic audience.


The Rise and Fall of Miss Thang stars Dormeshia Sumbry Edwards, a world re-known tap dancer. A few years ago, Dormeshia made tap history when she became the first female performer in Savion Glover's Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk on Broadway. Tapping since the age of 3, she made her debut on Broadway at the age of 12, in the musical revue Black and Blue. She later became a featured principal in the European tour of 'Black & Blue'. As the only female dancer in a show without female characters. Her film credits include "TAP" with Gregory Hines and Spike Lee's "Bamboozled" (Assistant Choreographer).

Miss Thang was shot on HD last summer in Chicago. We are rushing to get the final touches done before our screening on June 6. My film school alma mater, Chapman University, is allowing us to do the last of our post in their brand new state of the art facilities in Orange, California.
