Chelsea Ainsworth, originally from North Carolina is a graduate from the Juilliard School. Her dance training began at the age of 8 at Pierrette Sadler Dancers where she studied Jazz, Ballet, Tap, and Modern dance for competition dancing. After many competitions she was accepted into the North Carolina School of the Arts in high school as a ballet major. She participated in Youth America Grand Prix in the 2003-2004 and 2005 years and won first place in the contemporary category. As a student she has performed works by Adam Hougland, David Parker, Johannes Wieland, Twyla Tharp, Paul Taylor, Jerome Robbins, Martha Graham, Aszure Barton, and Jose Limon. She teaches creative movement lessons and works with some non-profit organizations in New York, ASTEP (Artist Striving to End Poverty), CLIMB, (Combining Literacy in Musical Beginnings) and TOC Music (Ten O'clock Classics). Through successful arts immersion projects in the communities of Florida, New Orleans, Bronxville, North Carolina, California, New York City, The Philippines, Japan, and New Jersey she has provided free, accessible arts education and free, public performances. This awareness has led her to dedicate herself to founding the seeds of art in communities where arts education is not well-established, as well as starting her own LLC MOSAIC (Merging Our Specific Arts & Inspiring Collaboration) that focuses on interdisciplinary performance as well as educational outreach. In the upcoming years she will continue her work with MOSAIC and she is excited to join Johannes Wieland’s dance company in Kassel, Germany starting in January 2011.
As a recent graduate dancer from The Juilliard School I have spent the last four years developing my artistic abilities and outreach skills. I believe that it is our responsibility to use the arts we have been blessed with to create something larger than ourselves.With a goal of bringing art to as many different people and places through performing, teaching, and choreographing I hope to show that art is imperative for all human beings.

After Graduating school I realized that I have friends, family and supporters that I want to keep updated and in contact with. This website is my attempt to give you a chance to see me dance, hear about what or where I am now, and see some of my past outreach projects.
Where to start?
On the right hand side there is a list of pages which include my bio, where I am now, some example lesson plans, and a link to my dance reel on youtube.
Underneath that are seperate links to projects I have run during the past few years. These are projects I have done on my own with the support of family and school. I am hoping to run another project during the 2011 year, so please check out the projects and let me know what you think!
Also please let me know if I need to add something more...Enjoy!!
