About

Dani Rowe is an internationally-renowned choreographer and current Artistic Director of Oregon Ballet Theatre.

After a ten-year career as a principal dancer with the Australian Ballet, Rowe joined Christopher Wheeldon’s Morphoses and Houston Ballet before joining Nederlands Dans Theater 1. There, she worked with luminaries Jiří Kylián, Crystal Pite, Mats Ek, Paul Lightfoot, Sol León, and more. Her rich career of performing, choreographing, and directing at the highest levels of dance has cultivated in her a curatorial aesthetic that blends cutting-edge programming alongside the best of classical and neoclassical genres.

Rowe has choreographed multiple works for San Francisco Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Oregon Ballet Theatre, and Royal New Zealand Ballet, to name a few.

Rowe’s work MADCAP (February 2023) for San Francisco Ballet was hailed a “triumph” (SF Chronicle). Her film Corps-en-tine for The Australian Ballet has been viewed over a million times online and was called “one of the best things to come out of quarantine” by VOGUE.

Upcoming choreographic commissions include Joffrey Ballet, Zurich Ballet, and more.

Dani lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and two daughters.
