Claire Piccirillo is from Indianapolis, IN, and started her dance training at the age of two. She attended college to pursue a career in dance at Ball State University. During her 3rd year at Ball State, she completed an independent work study program at Theater Arts Preparatory School (TAPS) in Las Vegas, Nevada where she fell in love with the entertainment business. Claire left Ball State to train full-time under Don Mirault, and TAPS staff, for 6 months in all different styles of dance, including acting and voice. She has had the honor of working with many different professional choreographers and performers. At the completion of TAPS, she was signed with Go2Talent agency in California and hired by the American Music Theater in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where she

spent her summer and winter performing! Claire was also seen in the production of “MAMA MIA!” at the Palace Theatre in Manchester, New Hampshire.  Claire was contracted for a 2nd season at AMT; however due to the onset of COV-ID19, this was put on hold giving her the opportunity to “return to her roots” teaching and sharing her experiences with young dancers at Expressenz Dance Studio in Indianapolis, IN.  Claire is honored and humbled by the amazing opportunities she has had to date, and is so excited to continue her journey in the professional dance world.
