About

Skyler began her training with The Nashville Ballet in their academy and as a trainee. At age 17, Skyler was hired into Nashville Ballet’s second company where she was featured in numerous classical and contemporary works, including originating a role in Gina Patterson’s 72 Steps, as a commission by the League of Women’s Voters. In 2020 Skyler became a company member with FALL, a contemporary ballet and aerial dance company. She has also had the opportunity to choreograph and dance in her own work at Kindling Arts Festival in 2021, 2022, and for various music videos for local artists. This same festival led her to join Di Mossa Dance Company while continuing as a company member with FALL and freelancing with her own work. She was lucky enough to perform at Oz Arts 2021 with Shackled Feet DANCE Company and the Emmy nominated composer Dave Ragland in Steal Away. Skyler graduated Summa Cum Laude from Belmont University with a Bachelors in Social Work and a minor in Chemistry in May 2022 and immediately began working on her Doctorate in Chinese Medicine at the Colorado Chinese Medicine University. Since moving to Denver for graduate school she got hired by Davis Contemporary Dance Company as well as Central City Opera House to dance in their production of Kiss Me Kate.  Skyler is thrilled to be part of the Davis Contemporary Dance Company working with such a wide variety of movement styles and choreographers. Since joining in September 2022 she has had the honor of performing numerous works by Terrell Davis, Hannah Kahn, Rachel Harding, Chloe Abel, Helen Estrella, Kevin “Iega” Jeff, Aubrey Klinger-Fearns, and many others. Skyler loves integrating her knowledge of the body, spirituality, and social justice accumulated through both undergraduate and graduate school and her certification as a Yoga teacher into her movement and choreography styles.
