Ruthann Ciszak
Dancer

Ruthann G. Ciszak (she/her) is from Poconos, Pennsylvania, where she began her dance training at the early age of three years old with Elite Dance Center where she studied ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, acro, musical theatre and hip-hop. She later began training with Pocono Academy of Dance where she was able to enhance her ballet skills and start taking pointe classes. At Ruthann’s middle school, Arts Academy Charter Middle School, she had the opportunity to take modern, jazz, ballet and tap classes during her academic school days. There she was a part of the school's musical show called Show Stoppers where she was selected as dance captain and a student choreographer. After two years at Arts Academy Charter Middle School, she was accepted into The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts. Here Ruthann’s modern and ballet training flourished and was given the opportunity to include tap into her artistry and choreography skills. In 2019 she received an Excellence in Choreography award at the dance competition, Nexstar.

Ruthann is currently attending Shenandoah Conservatory in the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance program with hopes of graduating and continuing her schooling within the Performing Arts Leadership & Management master's program within the conservatory.
