RESIDENT ADVISOR

Niamh Perrins (She/Her) is from Nova Scotia, Canada and began training in ADAPT jazz and tap, and Cecchetti ballet at age 9. Falling in love with dance, she quickly added classes in modern and contemporary dance. At age 13, Niamh was accepted into the Joffrey Ballet School Jazz Trainee Program in New York City where she trained from 2016-2017. While in New York, Niamh was selected and starred in the Awesomeness YouTube show, Joffrey Elite. From ages 15 to 18, Niamh trained at the Colburn Dance Academy in Los Angeles, under the mentorship of the academy’s deans, and former principal dancers of the New York City Ballet, Jenifer Ringer and James Fayette, as well as with Zippora and Romy Karz and Seth Belliston. During that time, Niamh had been both an assistant teacher at the Colburn School, and a teacher at a dance studio in Southern California where she has taught ballet and jazz to students between the ages of 3 and 25 years. Niamh is currently a full time Company member with Ballet Tucson in Arizona. Niamh also taught at Ballet Arts this past year, teaching multiple levels including Baby Ballet and Adult Ballet. When Niamh isn’t dancing, she loves to foster kittens. She cannot wait to meet everyone this summer!
