Brigid Myers has been dancing with Dragonfly Dance Experiment since March 2009.  Brigid has an extensive resume in dance including her high school education at the Baltimore School for the Arts, an arts high school where she majored in dance.  Brigid also studied dance in college at the University of Maryland Baltimore County and spent a semester in France.  Growing up, she trained at the Peabody Institute, Towson University Children’s Dance division, Upper Falls Dance Academy and the McHale School of Irish Dance.  Brigid is experienced in modern, ballet, pointe, tap, jazz and Irish step.

Brigid loves to dance in a modern style because of the expressiveness of the style and the never-ending supply of movement.  Brigid was especially inspired by a performance of Esplanade by the Paul Taylor Dance Company.  She knew, after seeing this performance, that dance needed to be part of her life forever.  Brigid felt a real connection with not only the movement, but the real theory behind the choreography.  She continues to love this piece and is in awe of Paul Taylor’s works.

Brigid is passionate about her love of all styles of dance.  She expresses, “Dance is so beautiful, expressive and wonderful and the thing that I love most is that there are so many options.  It’s got so many different flavors- there is something for everyone to enjoy!”

Brigid has many supportive people in her life, but she is especially thankful for her Aunt, Mary.  Mary lost her battle with cancer in September of 2002.  Mary constantly encouraged Brigid to pursue her love of dance and taught her that what we want most in life is what is hardest to attain, but also the most worthwhile. 

Today, Brigid resides in the same home she has lived in all her life, in Baltimore, MD.  She works at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore and is climbing the ladder quickly.  If she wasn’t dancing all day and night, Brigid would love to be at the beach playing board games or be traveling and speaking French.

Brigid would like to thank:

“Megan for loving us, for trusting in us and for creating the most beautiful movement I have ever had the privilege of performing.  I want to thank my family for allowing me to be who I am and for believing in me every step of the way.  I want to thank Greg for being so supportive and loving me always. 

I want to say how honored and blessed I feel to be part of this amazing company.  Dragonfly has opened my mind and my heart to dance in a whole new way and I am so excited to see where we will go in our future together.  This is an incredible group of women and I love all of them.”
