Their talent and dedication is second to none. We are truly lucky to have them in Missoula! When to see these dancers perform?*: ALL of the re|PLAY performances! (Of course!) > One exception!: Tara McFarland unfortunately isn’t able to join us for re|PLAY. But don’t worry, she’ll be back next season! re|PLAY April 7 - 23 at @thewestsidetheater ➡️ Link in bio for INFO & TIX ___ *While some company alumni are performing all three weekends, others are joining us for only some of the re|PLAY performances. 📷: Jen Delong @buffalojamesphotography, Max Hill @galileolookedup #missouladance #dancemontana #missoulaperformingarts #montanagram #missoulanightlife #dancemontana #dancecompany
⭐️Company Highlight ⭐️ Well, these two are not exactly alumni, but they’re not often performing nowadays. So take note!! They will be ON STAGE for re|PLAY! Joy French (BBD Founder and ED) and Kelly Bouma (past Co-Director and current @thewestsidetheater Managing Director) are the creative and administrative leaders behind much of what we do. This anniversary year has inspired them to perform a bit more… no promises when it will happen again! 😉 When to see these 2 perform?*: ALL of the re|PLAY performances! re|PLAY April 7 - 23 at @thewestsidetheater ➡️ Link in bio for INFO & TIX ___ *While some company alumni are performing all three weekends, others are joining us for only some of the re|PLAY performances. 📷: Jen Delong @buffalojamesphotography, Donal Lakatua @donal_cl , Terry Cyr @cyrphoto #missouladance #dancemontana #missoulaperformingarts #montanagram #missoulanightlife #dancemontana #dancecompany @Joyjfrench @kellybrookeb
⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ Wrapping up our alumni highlights today with Jen DeLong ( @jendel333 )! Like many BBDers, Jen danced at the University of Montana and was an early collaborator of BBD’s Director, Joy French, back in college. While an incredible mover (especially when it comes to contact improv and partnering), BBD fans might know her better via her amazing talent as Buffalo James Photography! Even though she now lives in Butte, we’re lucky to continue to have her photographic eye on many of our shoots. And of course, we love having her perform with us again after all these years. 😍 When to see Jen perform?*: Weekend 3 (April 21 - 23) re|PLAY April 7 - 23 at @thewestsidetheater ➡️ Link in bio for INFO & TIX ___ *While some company alumni are performing all three weekends, others are joining us for only some of the re|PLAY performances. #missouladance #dancemontana #missoulaperformingarts #montanagram #missoulanightlife #dancemontana #dancecompany
⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ Next up: the lovely Audrey Kurz! ( @audrey.kurz ) Missoula might know Audrey best from being Clara in the Nutcracker (2 times!) however you might not know that Audrey remains one of only two dancers to have apprenticed with BBD for 3 seasons. We have seen Audrey grow into a lovely young woman, and we’re glad she stuck around after high school graduation to perform with us again!

⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ We’re taking today to round out the last of our alumni celebrations… and we begin today’s dancer feast with Kirsten Cherubini! (Owner of Main St Pilates @main_street_pilates_missoula - where she employs multiple BBD alumni! 😊) Kirsten has been a part of our Missoula dance community since childhood and currently supports multiple dance organizations in town. Fun fact: Kirsten performed with Joy even before there was Bare Bait Dance! Some folks might remember a long-ago show, called Crack & Yoke, which inspired the creation of BBD. Kirsten then went on to dance in the first few years of BBD, and we’re glad to be able to have her back in the fold for re|PLAY!

⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ Continuing on with our Alumni celebrations… a huge cheers to Jenna Buska ( @jenjuel )! Jenna came to the BBD Season 2 Audition totally unknown to us having just moved to town however she immediately earned her company spot! She was in BBD for the first two Springboard showcases and saw the founding of Kinetoscope Film Fest in year 3 before she took time to focus on raising her beautiful daughters. And trust us, you’ll never guess that she had 10 years away from the company… this lady dances like she’s never missed a day! Can’t wait to see her shine on stage again! When to see Jenna perform?*: ALL of the re|PLAY performances! re|PLAY April 7 - 23 at @thewestsidetheater ➡️ Link in bio for INFO & TIX ___ *While some company alumni are performing all three weekends, others are joining us for only some of the re|PLAY performances. 📷: Jen Delong @buffalojamesphotography, Slikati @slikatimissoula, Amanda Opitz #missouladance #dancemontana #missoulaperformingarts #montanagram #missoulanightlife #dancemontana #dancecompany
⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ Dancers can be some of the most gifted, multifaceted beings amongst us and Freya Sargent ( @freyawenona ) should be celebrated for both! While a super-talented dancer and choreographer, Freya is now focusing her creative energy on helping protect the earth by working at the Nature Conservancy. We’re thrilled she was able to come play with us in rehearsals this month! Catch her in ALL of the re | PLAY shows (including our tour show to Ronan on April 14th!) and if you can… try to convince her to stay a bit longer, won’t you! :) When to see Freya perform?*: ALL of the re|PLAY performances! re|PLAY April 7 - 23 at @thewestsidetheater ➡️ Link in bio for INFO & TIX ___ *While some company alumni are performing all three weekends, others are joining us for only some of the re|PLAY performances. 📷: Jen Delong @buffalojamesphotography , David Clumpner @davidclumpner , Sarah Diggins @sara_digginsphoto #missouladance #dancemontana #missoulaperformingarts #montanagram #missoulanightlife #dancemontana #dancecompany
⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ Clare Antonioli ( @clareantonioli ) was an early BBD rockstar in the first years of the company. When the company was founded, we very much hoped to be a home for dancers like Clare to stick around and have professional careers right here in Montana. As it turns out, Clare had ambitions outside of the state and did end up moving away for a while but has returned as one of our go-to local Physical Therapists! Who knows the next time you’ll see her on stage?… it’s a dream to have Clare performing with us again! When to see Clare perform?*: Weekend 1 (April 7 - 9) re|PLAY April 7 - 23 at @thewestsidetheater ➡️ Link in bio for INFO & TIX ___ *While some company alumni are performing all three weekends, others are joining us for only some of the re|PLAY performances. 📷: Jen Delong @buffalojamesphotography , Slikati @slikatimissoula, Amanda Opitz #missouladance #dancemontana #missoulaperformingarts #montanagram #missoulanightlife #dancemontana #dancecompany
⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ Drum roll, please! We’ve officially dubbed our Bare Bait Dance MVP to be… Kaitlin (Kinsley) Dickinson! ( @kaitlinkdickinson ) From the moment Kaitlin joined the company, her technical and performance talents shined but it was clear she was more than a dancer. KK has a keen choreographic eye; she helped behind the scenes with social media & organizing rehearsal footage; and she even sung on stage (once or twice?). It doesn’t stop there! KK has now transitioned to being on the BBD Board of Directors and is an indispensable advisor to the whole organization. She can truly do “it all” and we’re so glad she could fit in a few re | PLAY performances as well! (Kaitlin also gets a 2-part post because… well, too many beautiful/fun/compelling photos of her time dancing not to share!)

⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ This is a love-note to long-time company member, Jessica Shontz ( @jshontz ). If there was a Queen BBDer, Jo would be it! With her unwavering professionalism and endearing humility, we are truly lucky to have had her for 8 of BBD’s 12 seasons. If the count is right, Jo has performed in 14 main-stage productions along with multiple tour, outreach, gala, and spin-off performances. The company would not be what it is without Jo. And while she bowed out during the pandemic, folks, GET YOUR TICKETS because we snagged her back in for re|PLAY! (This is part 2 of a 2-part post because Jo has too many incredible photos not to include them all!)

re | PLAY April 7 - 23 at @thewestsidetheater ➡️ Link in bio for INFO & TIX re | PLAY brings a "best-of" collection of works back to the stage performed by the current BBD company and alumni company dancers. Breathing life back into our favorite choreographic moments from BBD’s past productions, we are proud to be a professional dance company thriving right here in Western Montana for the past twelve years! #missouladance #dancemontana #missoulaperformingarts #montanagram #missoulanightlife #dancemontana #dancecompany
⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ Ashley Zhinin ( @oh_goodie_design ) is a multifaceted human that any company would be lucky to have around! In addition to being a fabulous choreographer and dancer, Ash has the patience to help run our Box Office and the design eye to organize/build/coordinate our costumes. And yes, she’s pretty much doing all of these things for re|PLAY! Truly couldn’t do shows without Ashley nowadays but we’re super stoked she said yes to performing as well. So give her a big standing ovation when you see her onstage, won’t you?!

⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ If you know this lovely lady, Lee Rizzo ( @leeleerizzo ), you might primarily think of her for her incredible musical talents and powerful voice. But did you know that she’s also a beautiful mover?! BBD was lucky to collaborate with her both as a mover AND a singer. She was in BBD company during Season 5 and since then she’s played music for two years of the Missoula Roadshow. We don’t know when we’ll talk her into dancing again, so be sure to catch her while you can: back on stage for re | PLAY!

⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ Brittany Gaudette was a fan favorite in the early seasons of BBD and we’re thrilled she’s coming home for re | PLAY. During Seasons 3 & 4, Britt performed in Wall City News and Happier with a Hoover while also dancing and choreographing for Springboard. However, Britt’s first show with the company was collaborating with guest artist, Rachel (Oliver) Young, in her work Settle. We love how Britt is always game to experiment and play with new viewpoints and artists… be sure to catch her in the first weekend of re|PLAY!

⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ Laurel Sears ( @laureljsears ) is no stranger to the studios and stages of western Montana. BBD was lucky to have her for two seasons (Seasons 5 & 6!) and she’s back for re|PLAY. She’s also choreographed for the company and created an opportunity in town for us to continue training via the Montana Dance Fest… all while juggling babes and teaching! Thanks to Laurel for all you do in our community! Love getting to play with her back in class and rehearsals again!

⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ We are lucky to have had so many talented dancers come through Missoula and if you ever saw Roxanne (Madler) Ring ( @yogiroxyring ) on stage, you know she was a wildly versatile dancer! Montana-born, this woman can do it ALL. Contemporary Modern: ✔️ Jazz: ✔️ Musical Theater: ✔️ Ballet: ✔️ Bollywood: ✔️ You name it, she’s probably performed it. While BBD only got her for one season, we are proud to have her in the fam. So grateful that alumni like Roxy are comin’ home for re|PLAY!

⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ Ladies and Gents, the incredible Jasmine Woods! If you’ve seen her perform you know she’s a powerhouse but what you might not know is that she’s incredibly humble and generous behind the scenes. Jasmine has manned the BBD box office for more than one production and probably has seen more BBD shows than any other Missoulian! We love having Jasmine in our community and again joining the BBD talent for re|PLAY!

⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ We are pleased to announce that the lovely Liz Martin ( @moondustwolf ) is joining the cast of re|PLAY. Liz was here for the first years of the company. Besides being an incredible performer, Liz showed us how to balance life and babies and creativity in those early seasons even bringing her first-born on tour with us (shout out to Stella!). We can’t wait to celebrate 12 seasons of BBD by having Liz on the re|PLAY stage!

⭐️Company Alumni Highlight ⭐️ Gabi Wilson! (@gabi_a_wilson ) This is the first of our BBD Apprentice alumni joining us for re|PLAY. Gabi performed with BBD last season for When the Dust Settles, Springboard 2022 and the Missoula Roadshow. During the pandemic, we had taken a break from having Apprentices so Season 11 was our first year reviving the program. We’re happy we had the opportunity to bring Gabi into the BBD fam before she graduated and headed to college!
