About

Tabitha Steger is originally from Wisconsin, but attended high school for dance at the St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists, and went on to earn her Bachelor of Arts in Dance from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. During her time at the university she studied and performed works by Carl Flink, Nora Chipaumire, Martha Graham, Maurya Kerr, Larry Keigwin, and Scott Rink. During her study abroad in Palestine, she was able to train with Batsheva Contemporary Dance Company members as well.

While she began teaching dance at her childhood dance studio in 2009, she fell in love with teaching movement when she first discovered GYROTONIC & GYROKINESIS methods at LINES ballet summer intensive. After graduating she was blessed with an opportunity to begin her GYROTONIC Expansion System journey having studied mostly under Kathy Van Patten, Dana Gringas, Karen Mullen, Martha Mason, Jane Gotch, and Adrianna Thompson. She's been teaching GYROKINEIS movement since 2016, and GYROTONIC movement since 2018. Amidst her GYROTONIC trainings she also become a certified Pilates instructor under STOTT with hopes to continue her education in Pilates as well. Most recently she became a GYROTONIC pre-trainer under Adrianna Thompson with the passion to continue spreading the work of the GYROTONIC Method.

Since 2019, she’s been a successful, full-time movement instructor at Pivot Movement Studio under Karen Grady. At the studio she works with many clients dealing with specific pain and dysfunction in their bodies. Having these wonderful clients gave her the passion to find the balance between therapeutic work and fitness, while better understanding the body’s natural way of moving. She wants to continue investigating how both the GYROTONIC Method and Pilates can serve the body, helping strip away dysfunctional movement patterns and bring the body back to a state of ease and softness.

She continues dancing professionally after having amazing experiences performing works by Maurya Kerr, KT Niehoff, Shura Baryshnikov, Gabriel Forestieri, and Cyrus Khambatta. Recently she began directing and performing in her own works, Of the Seasons, that celebrates the movement and culinary arts together in a unique performance focusing on community and common experiences.
