Artistic Staff

Artistic Director: Jesse Rand Powers

Jesse joined the artistic staff of CBT on January 1, 2019 as our new Artistic Director.  Jesse graduated from Grand Valley State University with a Bachelor of Arts in dance. While at school, Jesse choreographed and lead a non-profit dance organization called Momentum for two years. Before GVSU, Jesse danced for eight years with Children’s Ballet Theatre of Michigan (CBT) performing in many classical and some non-classical ballets. After graduation, Jesse danced two seasons with Inaside Chicago Dance as a Performing Apprentice. As well, he danced the Nutcracker with Schaumburg Dance Ensemble for two seasons, danced in Thodos’ New Dances Series, and performed with Alliance Dance Company. In New York Jesse worked with Shawn Bible Dance Co, Arch Contemporary Ballet, Jonathan Lassiter Co, and Judi Jaekel & Dancers. Jesse taught and trained with students both in Chicago at several different studios and in New York at Art’s House School of Dance & Fine Arts. He also choreographed several pieces in Brooklyn for BomDiggs’ Shifting Movement Series and in Chicago for Inaside’s Choreographic Sponsorship Event. Jesse would like to thank his family and friends for their unlimited amount of support.
