Paige Orcutt:

Paige Orcutt grew up dancing at Little Theatre. She always loved powerfully leaping across the stage- and all the sparkly costumes! Her senior year of high school she decided to pursue a career in track instead of dance, so she ran for Boise State University in Idaho, but dancing and choreographing has always held a special place in Paige’s heart. Paige is now entering her 9th year teaching elementary school and her third year helping to teach the tiny tot classes. Paige has so much fun dancing around the studio with the little ones, and they often bring tears to her eyes at the big show when they not only show off how adorable they are, but also how much they have learned and grown. Paige has also been involved with our Princess Camp for young dancers over the summer- it is always a highlight of her year! She loved creating a fairy tale environment with the students. Currently, Paige is training for triathlons to continue to represent Team USA in the amateur division as she tries to earn her pro license. All of this takes hard work, balance, and dreaming BIG- skills she hopes to instill in her dancers from an early age.
