Luisa Aviles

Lead Artist, Moving Field Guide

Luisa (she/her/hers) is passionate about dancing, movement, creativity, and education. She believes in the power of artmaking as a way to connect, express, and cultivate community. Luisa found all of this when she enrolled in her first program at the Dance Exchange in 2017.  Since then, she has participated in movement institutes and classes, as well as supported the CoLab and Still Crossing projects in 2018, which culminated in a performance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. When Luisa isn't dancing, she trains local teachers on how to deliver experimental learning outdoors. Luisa is an Early Childhood/Arts Specialist with the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through The Arts, and serves as a board member and partnering artist with Dance Exchange.
