Jordan Kriston – Teaching Artist

Jordan Kriston grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and holds a BFA in Dance Performance from Arizona State University. She grew up playing team sports, swimming, and spending time outdoors. In 2006 Jordan moved to NY and became a dancer with both H.T. Chen & Dancers and Douglas Dunn & Dancers. In 2010 Jordan joined Pilobolus and had the wonderful experience of being a co-collaborator on more than a dozen new pieces, traveling the world teaching master-classes and performing. Jordan served as a full-time Dancer with Pilobolus for seven years and continues to be involved as a Teaching Artist.

She is currently a Dance Instructor/Choreographer at Polaris Dance Theater and has performed with Portland-based dance artists Ela Fala Dance Collective, Push/FOLD and Graham Cole. Jordan was one of the co-founders for the dance education website, DanceTalk101, which served as a resource for Dance Educators providing lessons, discussions and activities for dance students.

She has been an Artist in Residence at Washington & Lee University and Movement Source Dance Company. She lives in Portland with her partner Zach and their dog Charlie, and when she is not dancing, she loves to garden, cook, write, read, pet her dog and feed her snacks, work on her spiritual practice, ride scary rides, go swimming, go to haunted houses and do anything new that she's never done before, that might give her a thrill.
