TALIA

Talia Langtry was born and raised just outside of Vancouver, BC, where she began her dance training at the age of 3. At 18, Talia was a recipient of the Darcey Bussell Bursary award, and competed in the 2016 Genée International Ballet Competition in Sydney Australia. In 2020, Talia graduated from Modus Operandi, Post-Secondary Contemporary Dance program based in Vancouver, under the artistic direction of Tiffany Tregarthen, David Raymond and Kate Franklin. She was awarded B.C. Arts Council scholarships for the 2018/19 and 2019/20 Modus Operandi seasons. During her time in the program, Talia had the privilege of performing works by David Raymond, Karissa Barry, Company 605, Kate Franklin, Paraskevas Terezakis, Shay Kuebler, Out Innerspace Dance Theatre, Vanessa Goodman and Alanna Kraaijeveld. 

As a freelance dance artist, Talia has had the pleasure of working with Jenna Berlyn, Joshua Beamish/MOVETHECOMPANY, Out Innerspace Dance Theatre, Kirsten Wicklund and Ballet Kelowna. 

Talia has taught at a variety of studios across the lower mainland. Teaching has always been a passion of Talia’s. Sharing her love for the art form with others means so much to her. Talia has been with PŪR Movement since 2018 and is so grateful to be a part of such a dedicated team.
