Skye Montante

Skye Montante began studying ballet at Petaluma School of Ballet at the age of 8. In later years as they were introduced to other forms of dance; they found their true calling with Hip-Hop and Contemporary styles. They continued their dance through college and graduated from San Francisco State University with a BA in Dance. They studied abroad in Argentina at IUNA University furthering their studies in Ballet and Modern dance. While studying in Buenos Aires, they began to work at PeiMei Studios, teaching Contemporary Fusion dance. Skye spent  the past 10 years teaching both youth and adult classes in New York City, such as Steps on Broadway and Brooklyn Arts Exchange. While in New York they also had the opportunity to present original work. They recently got back from a 7 month stay in Barcelona where they dove into the street style scene. Their time abroad exposed them to not only different dance styles but different communities. Skye’s focus as a teacher and creator is to help their dancers find their own individual voice and establish a safe space to move. Skye is excited to be back in the Bay Area to share their unique voice as a teaching artist.
