Suzanne Beahrs

Suzanne (Zan) Beahrs has three decades of contemporary/modern dance experience and 12 years of teaching, and loves to support students in moving freely and in greater connection with themselves and community. Her movement style was described by The New York Times as “grounded, silken.” In addition to contemporary dance, she is currently heavily influenced by house dance, contact improvisation, and mindfulness practices. Suzanne currently teaches at many locations in the Bay Area, and has previously taught at Gibney, Elon University, ADF studios, and more. She has shown her choreography in NY, NC, CA, AZ, MA, and MO, and performed in works by Ishika Seth, Mo Miner, and others. Beyond the studio, Suzanne enjoys exploring visual art, writing, nature, and music and has worked as a facilitator to nurture belonging and inclusion. Education: MFA in Dance, NYU Tisch School of the Arts; BA in Geology, UC Berkeley IG: @suzannebeahrs, suzannebeahrs.com
