Brooke Benton
Dance Movement Therapist
Biography:
Brooke Benton started her dance journey here in her hometown of Steamboat Springs at the age of 3 and has grown to love movement of all kinds. As she danced her way through childhood she explored ballet to jazz, African, hip hop, and modern and went on to study dance at the University of Oregon. After school her studies and interest in big city life Brooke moved to San Francisco where she had the pleasure of dancing with Bandaloop, a world renowned aerial dance company. She traveled on and off with them dancing off buildings and other site specific spaces, pushing her adrenaline and her ability to defy gravity.
After a long hiatus away from the dance world, Brooke is getting her dance body moving again. She’s grateful for all the dancy opportunities in the Yampa Valley to help bring dance back into her life on a regular basis. Recently she had the chance to experience working with a Dance Movement Therapist on how to guide others in their movement exploration and personal self discovery through dance. Brooke's dance fire has been reignited and she can't wait to share her love of movement with all who are willing to move along with her and explore.
