About Michelle

Michelle Struckholz has been dancing most of her life. She received her B.S. in Dance from James Madison University in 1997, moved to NYC to “dance” (and did so) for a couple years, then ventured off to San Francisco where she was hypnotized by Kathleen Hermesdorf and Albert Mathias. She performed with their company, Motion Lab, and also with Annie Rosenthal & Company, Company Méchanique and more. Since moving to Providence randomly in 2008, Michelle has performed with Lostwax Multimedia Dance, Leyya Tawil, Christian Swenson, Erika Senft Miller, an ensemble of improvisors, and most recently as a community member in Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company’s What Problem? Her current dance fantasies involve improvisational and site-specific work. Outside of the dance world, Michelle is the Co-Owner of Momentum Fitness, a personal training studio on the East Side of Providence. She and her husband, Fred, have a 10-year-old son, Elliot, who gets his strong legs and sweet dance moves from his mother.
