Genevieve Waterbury
Teaching Artist
Performance Ensemble Director

Genevieve Waterbury is a performing and teaching artist new to the Twin Cities. Originally from Colorado, she grew up in the mountains and in the ballet studio at Boulder Ballet, eventually studying dance at Colorado State University. Genevieve joined Nevada Ballet Theatre in Las Vegas where she performed classical and contemporary repertory and collaborated annually with Cirque du Soleil. At NBT, her interest in acting and dance theater deepened, prompting her move to New York City. In New York, Genevieve had opportunities to work across many genres including a Butoh Residency at Kaatsbaan with Joan Laage, a lead dancing role in the original cast of RED, a New Musical by Lawrence Dandridge, dancing in New York Fashion Week for JAHNKOYxPUMA, and several seasons as a company member with nathantrice/RITUALS. Genevieve enjoys writing poetry and singing, often as another dimension to her choreography. She most recently shared her work at the River’s Edge series hosted by Sher Demeter in Minneapolis.

Genevieve is a certified instructor of The GYROTONIC® Expansion System. She believes the method inspired a connection between body and nature that dance training had not yet forged. The technique provided space to recognize and confront habits, to breathe, and to find presence in her body. This freedom of movement is what she aims to inspire in her classes!
