Elizabeth Steele

Elizabeth Steele is an aerial and dance movement artist from Atlanta, GA. For the past five years, she trained at the University of Georgia Dance Department, where she discovered her passion for aerial and began exploring where the worlds of circus and contemporary dance intersect. Last year, Elizabeth spent her summer at the New England Center for Circus Arts, deepening her love for aerial hoop and developing a sense of fearlessness that continues to shape her movement practice.

During her time at UGA, she has had the opportunity to choreograph and perform in works by faculty and guest artists including Meg Gourley and Maleek Washington. 

Elizabeth is a versatile and creative mover, and her artistic development has been greatly shaped by many different movement experiences. She attended the American Dance Festival and has trained with companies including Pilobolus, David Dorfman Dance, and Diavolo | Architecture in Motion, all of which deepened her appreciation for extreme physicality and collaboration. Through these experiences, she has continued to cultivate an endless curiosity about movement and the human body’s expressive potential.

I AM INSPIRED BY everything that can be made possible through the human form and by the connections created through shared expression.

I FIND PURPOSE IN giving the body’s stored potential energy somewhere to go through movement.

WHAT MAKES ME COME ALIVE is that through exploring my movement interests, I’m able to express and share the deepest truths of who I am.
