Abigail Johnson

Abigail Johnson grew up in a small town in Washington state, rigorously training in ballet, contemporary, and jazz in her adolescence. She spent much of her career competing, placing both regionally and nationally. Her training has been broad, ranging from local studios to summers with companies such as Cincinnati Ballet, primarily studying neoclassical ballet. An injury accompanied by severe OCD in her late teens led to a hiatus in her training, and she later moved to Los Angeles to pursue the arts more broadly. Now recovered, she has found her way back to the studio and is thrilled to be dancing with NCBT. She spends her time out of the studio acting, writing and shooting films with her partner, and studying psychology and nutrition. She hopes to create a safe space in the ballet community to advocate for physical and mental health, and to foster individual artistry and self-expression.
