Bambi is an artist, a damn good storyteller, and the host at haus of bambi. Oh, and also the 2022 recipient of the Washington Award in Dance, btw.

Commissioned by Vogue, The Kennedy Center, The City of Alexandria and the Metal Hearts Cabaret in Boston, Bambi dances the line between the too much and the just enough. (duh)

Bambi is a founding member of The Kennedy Center’s Dance Council, was a 2022-2024 artist-in-residence at Dance Place in DC, and also is the runway movement director for New York couturier Bach Mai.

Bambi uses make-believe to tell the truth, with the deepest respect for irreverence and sticky dance floors.

In ‘21, Bambi started a free, euphoric dance class series, Party & Prance, that partners with local bar, Trade, to bring dance classes to queer spaces.

In ‘22, Bambi began a social club, Club Haus, piloted with The Kennedy Center, to nurture a new cohort of dance and theater lovers in DC.

In ‘23, Bambi premiered The Bambi Show, a traveling (and secret) cabaret and artist salon series featuring world-renowned guests and artists in DC.

Bambi is from Sewanee, TN and began studying ballet from Phoebe Pearigen and then Karen Smith. Bambi learned to hate dance after training at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, The Boston Conservatory, The Rock School, Ballet Austin, Hubbard Street, and The School at Jacob’s Pillow. Bambi now reinforces the joy we get from dancing in an attempt to undo harm from concert training.

Bambi has an MFA in dance film from the University of Michigan and teaches at American University, George Washington University, and Dance Place in Washington DC.
