Guest Teacher Information for the
2014 NCD Summer Intensive
Stephanie Kim - was raised in Humboldt where she
trained as a classical ballerina. She started her travels to
prestigious ballet intensives, such as Pacific Northwest
Ballet, School of American Ballet and San Francisco Ballet, at the age of 13. While taking advantage of the commercial aspects the city has to offer she has been able to
stay true to her classical roots as well. Stephanie was part
of the 2013 Summer Intensive at North Coast Dance.
Jessi Trauth - is a professional actor, singer, and
dancer. Born in Montana in the midst of a lightning storm, dancin’ at two, she’s been movin’ and
shakin’ ever since. Her thirst for creative expression and drive to collaborate led her to NYC where
she earned a BFA in theatre from NYU–Tisch.
