Amy Kofoid
Amy was born and raised in Anchorage Alaska where she started dancing as soon as she could slip her feet into ballet and tap shoes. She began at the Royal Ballet Academy and soon after gained a second family with the girls from Dance Spectrum Alaska (DSA) where she continued her training throughout her youth. she was a DSA Company member for 3 years where she studied jazz, tap, ballet and modern, working with both local and guest artists. She joined Momentum Dance Collective in the spring of 2010 and has had the pleasure of performing at different site specific venues including rooftops, woods, and bridges throughout Anchorage and Soldotna.
In spring 2013, she and other Momentum artists traveled to California to study aerial dance with the bay area company Project Bandaloop, and later performed this new technique alongside the company in their collaboration with the Light Brigade’s production of Over, Beyond, Across, Through (OBAT).
Since this time, Amy has experienced the joys of marriage, becoming a mom, graduating with her bachelors in Nursing, and continuing her love of dance, choreographing, and collaborating with local artists and musicians. She is one of the current studio managers of Momentum Studios and you will see her hosting studio events such as After Hours monthly on First Fridays.
Amy thanks the company members for giving her a chance to perform and share her love for the arts, creativity, and dance.
