Sasha French

Sasha French Dancing

Bottle Tree Productions is pleased to welcome American dancer and choreographer; Sasha French to the fold. she will be the dance instructor and choreographer for our Christmas production of A Christmas Carol at The Grand Theatre December 18th to the 20th. The show has several big dance numbers that will add visual excitement to this wonderful tale of redemption. 

Sasha French is a constant work in progress.  Born and raised in the Florida Keys, she spent her formative years studying concert piano with Ignacio Diaz Gravier and others.   French  went on to receive a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Dance from the University of Florida.  From 2004-2009 she performed with the Florida MOD Project, taught/performed works by Shapiro & Smith Dance, The Neta Dance Company, T'che T'che Dance Company, and Incidents Physical Theatre, choreographed for the Florida Players, and interned at Fine Arts Magnet Schools.  In 2008 she self-produced an evening length work entitled "I Married Adventure" (excerpts of which traveled to the Joyce SoHO and other New York, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida locations).  Hailed by Mia Leonin (Knight Arts Foundation) as "Gratifying to watch..." her work invokes a sense of intimate familiarity within the observer.  From 2009-2014, French spent time between dance communities in the Southern states, teaching as adjunct faculty and guest artist at two Tampa area colleges, working and producing at    the American Dance Festival, creating new work for her own company,    HEMISPHERE dance, and performing with Moving Current Dance     Collective and American Stage. The creation of art is her                       passionate dedication and she is deathly afraid of spiders.
