Hey, it's Atarius (uh-tah-ree-us).👋 I'm a choreographer and design consultant. I enjoy connecting the dots in our lives to create rich, diverse stories.
My choreography is athletic in nature but ultimately holds the "process" as king. I enjoy setting new work. I enjoy being in process. My movement explores "micro-batics" fueled by emotional agility. My style ranges from contemporary to dance theatre and musical theatre.
Empathy driven.
Athletic.
Experimental.
My methods cross between modalities stemming from musical theatre, contemporary dance, and martial arts. I teach floor work safety combined with explosive movements.

I'm an Atlanta-based creative originally from Mississippi. By day, I'm a visual designer and web developer for an amazing consulting firm. By night, I'm a choreographer, performer, and the Artistic Director of ALAÂ Dance. My work sits at the intersection of lineage connection and somatic healing.
