About

Sadie Crystal is a curious and honest dance artist. She graduated from Loyola Marymount University with two degrees in Dance and Psychology. She started dancing at Innovative Dance in Wilsonville, Oregon, and has since trained extensively in ballet, modern, contemporary, acrobatics, choreography, tap, jazz and hip-hop. She has furthered her dance education through intensive workshops with MODAS Dance, Northwest Dance Project, WHYTEBERG, Bill T Jones/Arnie Zane Company and the prestigious Dance Education Laboratory where she was invited to study with the renowned dance educator, Jody Gottfried Arnhold. This summer she is training at Whim W’him in Seattle in their professional summer dance program.

Sadie has performed the works of James Gregg (RUBBERBANDANCE), Damon Rago, Marcella Lewis, and Taryn Vander Hoop. Sadie is also a certified yoga instructor and received her 200 hour training under Lila Flow Yoga in 2020. Her artistry comes from a place of embodiment, investigating the process of creation and practice; her work style is playful but professional. Her background studying psychology alongside her diverse dance training, offers her an integrated perspective of the engagement between the mind and body. She values consciousness in creation to achieve a fully realized, technical, emotive, and reflective dance practice.
