Dancer
(She/Her)
Raised in Victoria, BC, Ariana began her ballet training at the Pacific Dance Centre and has trained nationally and internationally, including at the Arts Umbrella Graduate Program, l’École supérieure de ballet du Québec, Nederlands Dans Theater and the Performance Research Project. While Ariana has since established herself as a proud Edmonton-based artist, she has also found opportunities in her off-season to perform with several Vancouver-based companies such as Inverso Productions, Vision Impure, and Joshua Beamish/ MOVETHECOMPANY, among others. This summer, she had the pleasure of participating in a collaborative production between Wen Wei Dance and Compagnia ADARTE on a work entitled BAROCCO RAVE that premiered in Siena, Italy, at the Ballo Pubblico Festival and toured across western Canada. In 2023, Ariana was announced as a recipient of an Edmonton Artist’s Trust Fund Award in recognition of her ongoing commitment and contribution to the Edmonton arts community. Ariana has been an artist for Ballet Edmonton since 2018.
