Naomi Jason

Naomi was born and raised on Salt Spring and started dancing as soon as she could walk.  Her first teachers include Sue Newman, Robbyn Scott, Alisoun Payne and Constantine Darling and since leaving the island at 16, there have been many many others.  She has explored many styles of movement extensively, including: ballet, modern, competitive rhythmic gymnastics, jazz-funk, african, flamenco, yoga, qigong, sommatics, clowning and fire-spinning.  In 2004, she completed her professional training at LADMMI, an internationally recognized school for contemporary dance.  She spent the following 5 years soaking up the rich cultural and artistic environment that is Montreal.

Over the years, she has worked and apprenticed with various choreographers, taught dance, gymnastics and circus and choreographed and performed her own work.

Freshly back to the island from the big wide world, she’s excited to work with both children and adults to cultivate freedom of expression, grace, body-awareness, inspiration and joy!
