Elizabeth is from Barrington, Illinois where she began dancing at Denise Sabala Dance Studio. Elizabeth later trained at the Joffrey Academy of Ballet and A&A Ballet, both of which were under the artistic direction of Alexei Kremnev and Anna Reznik. She graduated from Butler University in 2023 with a BFA in Dance Performance, where she received the Eileen Poston Dance Scholarship award. While at Butler, Elizabeth has performed in ballets such as The Nutcracker, Giselle, Serenade, and Swan Lake; as well as excerpts from Le Corsaire, Don Quixote and The Little Humpbacked Horse. She has also had the opportunity to perform in original contemporary works by Susan McGuire, Cynthia Pratt, and David Ingram, as well as original works by her colleagues, Madeleine Hall and Camille Loftis, as a part of the 2022 and 2023 JCA Collaborative Showcase. She is very excited to begin her professional career as a company member with Ballet Fantastique!
