About Brittany:
Brittany Walker is originally from Miami, Florida. She saw Miami City Ballet’s “The Nutcracker” at age 3 and the rest is history. She reflects, “since I can remember I have always loved to move and create. I have loved training in dance and learning and growing from all my teachers. I have had such beautiful mentors and support throughout my 30 plus years of dancing.” Brittany attended a performing arts High School and was at Belhaven University (then College) from 2005-2009. She received her B.F.A. in Dance Performance. Brittany has danced, taught and choreographed for various companies, festivals, colleges, and studios all over the US. She feels very blessed to be able to continue pursuing her passion and have her dream for the last 5 years, Evolve Dance Project, her own professional dance company in Colorado.
