Meet the Dancers: Catherine Jane 'CJ' Burroughs




CJ began dancing when she was knee high to a grasshopper at small local studios outside of the Boston area. She then trained at Walnut Hill Dance Academy before being accepted to University of North Carolina School of the Arts on merit scholarship under the direction of Ethan Stiefel. There CJ studied as both a ballet major and contemporary dance major before graduating in 2012. She has also studied at several summer intensives including Chautauqua Dance Institution, Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, Miami City Ballet, Alonzo King's LINES Contemporary Ballet, and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. This summer she will be attending Dance New York International in Paris. CJ is currently a freshman at University of Michigan pursing a BFA in Dance and minor in Movement Science.
