Britney Ewing is a dancer, choreographer, and educator from Torrance, CA. She

from California State University Dominguez Hills. Britney also received her Multiple

Britney’s passion for dance started in middle school when she joined the competitive
dance team at Fusion Studios in Torrance, CA. Through Fusion’s competitive team she
began training in jazz, ballet, contemporary, lyrical, hip hop, and tap. As a member of
the South High Dance team she further trained in those styles, competed in regional
and national competitions and had the opportunity to choreograph pieces for the team’s
annual shows. She was also a part of the South High Varsity Drill Team for two years in
which she competed in the military, kick, pom, and character divisions at USA Dance
regional and national competitions as well as performed at school football and
basketball games. As a college freshman Britney was a member of the CSUDH Dance
Team and joined the CSUDH dance department her sophomore year. In the CSUDH
dance department she began to learn modern dance techniques along with elements of
Latin and African dance. As a Dance major she had the opportunity to choreograph a
Senior piece in the 2022 Spring Dance Concert, and also choreographed as a part of
Mosaic Dance Company at CSUDH. In 2023, Britney had the opportunity to showcase
her choreography in the American College Dance Association adjudication for the Baja
California region at the University of California, Irvine.

She currently directs the Palos Verdes High School dance program in which she trains
the Choreo Dance Team, Intermediate Dance, as well as teaches PE Dance, and PE
Yoga. Britney has also been an instructor for Regina Klenjoski Dance Company for 2
years, teaching children ages 3-17 a variety of dance genres that include jazz,
contemporary, ballet, tap, and hip hop. This is Britney’s first year as a teacher at Palos
Verdes High School and she is extremely grateful to have the opportunity to direct her
own dance program.
