Elegant and Inspiring performances

RammDance has performed with Areté Singers 3 times and I was thoroughly pleased with the result. They brought beauty and elegance to our concert which enthralled and inspired our audience. Truly a wonderful experience combining their modern dance aesthetic to renaissance music. There are truly talented and a joy to watch.

Courtney has danced professionally in New York City and Hawaii with companies including Dance Visions NY, IsadoraNOW and Dances Patrelle, as well as with Pittsburgh Ballet Theater, IONA Contemporary Dance Theater, Hawaii Opera Theater, and Onium Ballet Project. Alongside her ballet training, she studied and performed the Isadora Duncan technique and repertoire with her mother and aunt, both Duncan experts. In 2016, she founded the non-profit dance company, RammDance, to combine the discipline and beauty of ballet with the grace and aesthetic of the Isadora Duncan style to inspire, enliven and empower.

Courtney holds a Masters Degree in Dance Education from New York University, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Dance from Indiana University, where she graduated with Highest Distinction. She is also a certified teacher of the ABT National Training Curriculum in all levels and has taught dance all over the world- Hawaii, Singapore, Dallas, New York, and currently in the San Francisco Bay Area.
