We are diving back into our Belhaven Dance Alumni Series for part five, episode 132, with the inspiring Elle Ciccarone! Elle received her BFA from Belhaven University and is currently pursuing her MFA there and teaching the undergraduate students. After graduating with her BFA, Elle spent several years performing, teaching, and choreographing in New Orleans. While there, she established her own modern dance company, ELLEvate Dance, with a focus on empowering women in dance.
We chat about Elle's journey from her early dance experiences to her current MFA studies, exploring the intersection of faith and creativity in dance. Elle shares her insights on the importance of self-advocacy, the challenges of the dance industry, and the value of integrity and building relationships in your career. Our conversation also touches on the significance of community, personal growth, and the evolving nature of artistry.
Several other Belhaven Dance Alumni have shared their stories on the podcast over the years, so we've gathered all the episodes together in a playlist for you! Check out the playlist on Spotify!
