Petra van Noort is a native of The Netherlands. She studied ballet at Dansacademie Brabant (BA) and modern dance at Rotterdam Dance Academy. She first came to New York with a VSB grant in 1994. She then danced in Holland for several inspiring artists, most notably Wies Merkx and Herman van Veen. The search and desire to dance for a company with a theatrical nature led her to move to NYC in 1997 to join Jennifer Muller/ THE WORKS. This journey continued when she joined Susan Marshall & Company in 2000. Since 2004 she is also a member of the Tiffany Mills Company where she gratefully enjoys participating in the unique TMC adventures of creation through improvisational exploration. In NYC she has further had the pleasure dancing for Isabel Gotzkowsky and Friends, Company Rindfleisch/ Elke Rindfleisch and Leda Meredith amongst others. Petra has taught technique, repertory and creative performance classes for Susan Marshall & Company, Tiffany Mills Company, Jennifer Muller/ THE WORKS and for Dansend Hart (NL), in company classes and as part of workshops and touring residency activities. Her faith in ‘the powers of intention and human touch' continues to inspire her to study and share the amazing benefits of Reflexology, Metamorphosis and Prana Yoga in private practice.
