Katie Miller is from Fishers, IN. She has attended Indiana University for the last four years, and will be receiving her B.F.A. in Contemporary Dance while pursuing her passion for Physical Therapy (PT) when she graduates this May. Prior to coming to Indiana university, she danced at a studio called Turning Pointe Academy of Dance, training in all forms but enjoys contemporary and jazz the most. At Indiana University she trained specifically in Horton, Limón, Bill Evans, House, Modern, Graham, Contemporary, and JoJo. In addition she was able to learn from Andrea Ward, Cameron McKinney, Eisenhower Dancer Detroit, Erik Abbott-Main, Juel D. Lane, Company Danzante, Bill T. Jones, Iris Rosa, Stafford C. Berry Jr., and Robert F. Burden Jr. when they taught at IU. During her time at IU, she has had the opportunity to be in Juel D. Lane’s (2020), Dr. Prathiba Natesan Batley’s (2021), and Azuki Umeda’s guest artist pieces (2022), along with her IU faculty dance pieces (2019-2021). Katie performed in multiple student works and choreographed on different occasions all throughout her time at IU (2018-2022). She has since been accepted to different Doctorate of Physical Therapy Programs and will be continuing her education at the University of Indianapolis this fall, where she dreams of becoming a physical therapist for dancers one day.
