Originally from Kansas City, Janae graduated from Cornish College of the Arts in 2020 with a BFA in dance. After graduating, she spent time traveling the US creating and choreographing dance films until becoming a founding member of Wingbeat, a modern dance and aerial company. Since moving back to Seattle in September, she has joined 11:11 Dance Collective and dances as a guest artist for Karin Stevens Dance. She has performed her own choreography for Saltshake Productions’ 3…2…1! showcases, danced in Full Tilt 2025, Seattle Pride, and Coalesce Fest. She is also a teacher for Village Theatre KidStage and the Bertschi School, as well as a certified Power Pilates teacher and teaches at Pilates on 10th, ATD Studios, and Olympic Athletic Club. In all she does, Janae values honesty in art and agency in bodies. She gathers inspiration from personal stories, natural spaces, water, and travel.
