Bambi is an artist, a damn good storyteller, and the architect of 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 creates genderless and gendermore spectacles for the stage, screen, and nightclub.

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 deep respect for irreverence and sticky dance floors.

Bambi dances the line between the gaudy and subdued; the crude and refined; the classical and contemporary. (duh)

In 2021, Bambi launched a free, gender-euphoric dance education series, Party & Prance (PnP), that partners with local bar, Trade, to bring dance class to queer safe spaces.

In 2022, Bambi began a social club, Club Haus, piloted with The Kennedy Center, to nurture a new, more diverse cohort of dance and theater lovers in DC.

In 2023, Bambi premiered The Bambi Show, a traveling 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 promotes the joy accessed through movement in an attempt to undo harm from concert dance 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.
