Johanna Seidel has been dancing and teaching professionally for over a decade, with experience spanning ballet, pointe, jazz, modern, musical theatre, and contemporary dance. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance from West Texas A&M University, where she also danced with Lone Star Ballet as a professional company member. During her time in Texas, she served as Ballet Mistress for the WTAMU Dance Academy and performed in the long-running production of Texas: The Musical Drama in Palo Duro Canyon.

After moving to Chicago, Johanna continued to develop both her teaching and performance career over six years. As a dance educator, she taught ballet, contemporary, jazz, pointe, pre-pointe, and more at a range of schools including All About Dance, Studio 22 High Tek, and The Chicago School of Ballet, as well as several other local and suburban studios. Her teaching is known for instilling strong technique and a lasting love for ballet in her students.

Johanna’s performance credits in Chicago include dancing professionally with Alluvion Dance Chicago, Esoteric Dance Chicago, and Movementum Dance Project. She was honored to present original choreography through Alluvion’s Emergence festival and Esoteric’s Choreography Showcase, and performed as a featured dancer in events hosted by Tri-Fecta Dance Collective, Simantikos Dance Chicago, and other citywide festivals. Her work also extended to appearances in various television projects. Johanna is excited to continue sharing her passion for ballet and bringing its beauty and discipline to every dancer she teaches.
