Faculty

​

Lizzy Harrison began her journey in dance at Premiere School of Dance in Thornton, Colorado. She studied further at Dancer’s Edge Studio in Brighton, Colorado, where she danced until graduating high school, and later returned to teach. Lizzy pursued her love of dance on a scholarship at Casper College, where she earned an Associate of Arts in Dance Performance. She received training in Ballet, Modern, Tap, Jazz, African, and Fosse under Jodi Youmans-Jones and Aaron Wood as well as visiting artists from dance companies such as Soul Street, Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Company, and Repertory Dance Theater. She performed in Casper College Mainstage productions including An Adaptation of Charlotte’s Web, Contemporary Dance Concert, Mary Poppins the Musical, and A Rock and Roll Fantasy Contemporary Dance Concert. Her work has been selected to be performed in numerous Casper College Showcases including solos, duets, and her own choreography in group pieces.

 

Lizzy has taught dance for three years in the Denver metro area at Dancer’s Edge, Hudson Public Library, and Flatirons Dance, and Dance Evolutions in Casper, offering ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, lyrical, modern, and hip hop. She is excited to continue to share her love of dance with the Laramie community while she completes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Wyoming. Lizzy believes that dance is a beautiful expression of kindness, creativity, and strength for the purpose of communicating ideas and concepts while encouraging one another and building self esteem and community. Fostering an atmosphere that encourages dancers to be confident, loving, and accepting of both themselves and others, is of top priority in her teaching. She strives to create a fun and safe environment where her students feel comfortable to fully express themselves and are unafraid to make mistakes. She loves creating fun combinations with the little dancers as well as guiding older students in their personal journey of artistry. Her end goal is to become a dance therapist working with adolescents struggling with mental illness and will pursue a masters degree in Dance Therapy upon graduating the University of Wyoming.
