Haley Dimeck

Originally from Waterloo, ON, Haley Dimeck graduated from Dance Arts Institute in 2020. Alongside her training, she has participated in numerous intensives and has worked with renowned choreographers. A few highlighted performances include works by Charles Moulton (Fall for Dance North), Peggy Baker (dance: made in canada/fait au canada Festival) and James O’Hara (TransFormation Danse). 

Haley choreographed and presented her first full-length work, The Hidden Revealed, in 2019 for Unwrap Theatre. She created her first dance film as 2020 co-recipient of The Winchester Prize. In 2022, Haley hosted the online film festival event, Movement Offerings, which showcased a diverse collection of works by emerging and established artists. Including both creation and performance, she has also worked with Portal Dance, Nicole Decsey Dance Projects, the Juvenis Festival, Ground UP Dance Festival, and Guelph Dance Festival. 

As a creator, Haley is often inspired by movement in nature and following the ease of innate impulses. She is also an abstract visual artist and loves exploring the intersections between moving paint around on a canvas and movement in the body. 

Haley views teaching dance as a true privilege, and thrives to create a space for every student to feel freedom and empowerment through the joy of movement!
