Paige Valladares

Paige Valladares is a student at The University of Arizona. She is currently studying in the College of Fine Arts in pursuit of her BFA in Dance. Paige is being trained in all styles, but has exceptional passion for jazz, modern, and contemporary dance. She grew up in Southern California, dancing with Pacific Festival Ballet, where she participated in many shows that ranged from the yearly Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty, to the company’s original ballets, such as Camelot: The World Premiere and The Sea Princess. Paige has trained under numerous teachers and programs including, but not limited to, Joffrey Ballets’ Pre Professional Jazz and Contemporary Summer Invitational Intensive and the Tiler Peck Summer Intensive. Something Paige is proud of is her 2021-2022 project “Backyard Ballet”. Paige created a curriculum of the basics of ballet to teach to children aged 3-5. She has always had a desire to share her perspective and love of dance with the next generation and is excited to be a part of the Sonoran Ballet Academy family!
