ABOUT

Claire is a native of Pittsburgh, PA, but is a proud Canadian at heart. She began her dance training at a very young age, starting her studies at the Dance Conservatory of Pittsburgh under the direction of Danielle Pavlik and Mariah McLeod. She then transitioned to Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter school for her high school years with exposure to not only dance, but also musical theater. Claire has attended numerous summer intensive programs including NW Dance Project's Advanced Platform, Radio City Rockette's Summer Program, Joffrey Ballet School of New York, and North Carolina Dance Theater.

​

Claire is a graduate of Point Park University with a Bachelor of Arts in Dance, with a concentration in Jazz, and a Minor in Business Management. Here, Claire has had the wonderful opportunity of working with amazing choreographers such as Sidra Bell, Tyce Diorio, Yin Yue, and others. She has been taught at Point Park by individuals such as Garfield Lemonius, Jason McDole, Kiesha Lalama, Kijaunta Lucas, and Crystal Frazier. Outside of dancing, Claire's other interests include hiking, camping, traveling, and spending time with her family and pets. She is a huge environmentalist with aspirations of somehow intertwining her love of the earth into her dance career.
