Moriah Ernst
Moriah grew up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and started dancing at age 3. She grew up dancing at Miss Jeanne’s School of Dance and the Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. Moriah trained in ballet, jazz, musical theater, lyrical and modern. Moriah began competition dance at age ten and competed through high school. Moriah was involved in several competition teams. In 2006 Moriah had the unique opportunity to train at the North Carolina School of the Arts during Summer Intensive with a concentration in modern. Once Moriah graduated high school, she decided to pursue her dream of collegiate skiing, which brought her to Western State, but she continued to dance recreationally. In 2015 she graduated with a B.A. in psychology and a minor in sports psychology. Stemming from Moriah’s background in Dance, she concentrated her studies on eating disorders and injury in athletes. Moriah loves sharing her passion and knowledge of Dance with the community of Crested Butte.

Jodi Payne Alice grew up in Denver, where she studied ballet, modern, and jazz, with the Colorado Ballet from age 6 to 18. During high school, she was an apprentice with the company and performed many roles in professional productions of the Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Giselle, Sleeping Beauty, and Les Patineurs. She also attended summer workshops with Ballet West, Boston Ballet, and Milwaukee Ballet. She then went on to dance, choreograph and perform with student-run companies during four years of college, exploring many different dance styles and helping to organize shows. After college, Alice took a long break from dance while working, attending graduate school, and raising her family. Upon moving to Crested Butte in 2013, she discovered a vibrant dance community and began to take dance classes again. She enjoys participating in Move the Butte and other CB Dance Collective productions as a dancer and choreographer. She is thrilled to be an instructor with the CB School of Dance and share her love of ballet with dancers of all ages. Alice lives in Crested Butte with her husband, daughter, son, and dog.
