Dorie Raynolds has created a dual career rooted in movement, design, and her love for the arts.  Raised in Spokane, WA, she began training in classical ballet, completing the Royal Academy of Dance examinations with honors.  She then earned her BA in dance from the University of Washington, where she performed extensively.

Dorie danced professionally in US and Canada, working with numerous choreographers while creating original work of her own.  She's also shared her love of movement for over 15 years, teaching and mentoring students of all ages. Alongside her performing and teaching career, Dorie pursued apparel design, bringing the same creativity and discipline to her work.

She is profoundly grateful for this opportunity to be in the studio and onstage.
