Diana Crowder was born for the barre. The artistic director and founder of Pegasus Contemporary Ballet, Crowder repeatedly uses the word 'passion' when describing her feelings for her chosen career.

for five seasons. Despite her love for the art form, she felt something was missing. She longed to work with contemporary choreographers and expand her horizons, so she went freelance in 2017, traveling to dance everywhere from Seattle to New York City and even appearing in a music video.

"When everything shut down, we didn't know what was going to happen," she says."I helped produce a few projects with colleagues, and as things started to open up, I was ready to use that skill set more. At the same time, I was really passionate about contemporary ballet and using it to express the ideas of choreographers from different backgrounds."

Throughout all of her initiatives, Crowder feels that bringing dance to unlikely sites or teaming with unexpected partners will set Pegasus apart from other companies.
