Brittany Safran
Competition Team Director + Instructor

Brittany Safran brings to ABDC over 20 years of performance and competitive dance experience. She began training at an early age under the direction of Jim Caisse and Melissa Caisse. As a member of their dance team, Brittany performed and trained throughout the United States and abroad. She continued her studies at Dean College where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance with a focus in choreography and pedagogy. Through this program, she had the opportunity to study modern dance with artists from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre.

Shortly after college, Brittany joined Perceptions Contemporary Dance Company, who she performed with throughout New England and in New York City. In 2010, Brittany was accepted into The Boston Tap Company, directed by Sean Fielder. In her eight years with them, she has had the opportunities to perform at The Beantown Tap Festival, the Wang Theatre, and on the Inside/Out Stage at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. More recently, Brittany has continued to expand her knowledge of rhythm, dance, and movement. In doing so, she has performed with DrumatiX, a Boston-based rhythm and dance company, and has also started to further her education in studying Physical Therapy – in an effort to provide her students with a stronger and safer technical foundation.

As a dance educator and choreographer, Brittany has received numerous outstanding choreography awards, including a regional Industry Dance Award nomination. Her students have gone on to dance at both the collegiate and professional levels. Brittany has been with ABDC for over ten years and can’t wait for another exciting season!
