Katherine Bolaños
Katherine Eberle Bolaños, a native of Oklahoma City, began her professional career at the age of fifteen with Ballet Oklahoma where she danced for seven years. As a guest artist with Long Beach Ballet, she toured extensively throughout Taiwan and China, performing the role of Jasmine in Aladdin. In 2004, she joined the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet under the direction of Jean-Philippe Malaty and Tom Mossbrucker, where she remained for 16 seasons.
During her time in Aspen, Katherine enjoyed dancing all over the world in close to fifty ballets, twenty three of which were commissioned. She feels fortunate to have worked with and performed ballets by world renowned choreographers including Gerald Arpino, Alejandro Cerrudo, Alexander Ekman, Jorma Elo, Nicolo Fonte, and many more. Katherine obtained her Associates in Psychology from Colorado Mountain College and is looking forward to her future endeavors.
Katherine was a founding member of DanceAspen and performed with the company for three seasons before taking her final bow at Vail Dance Festival 2022
