SONG: “FOR US”

James Ellzy began his dance training at Northwestern University in 1989.  He performed primarily in musical theater until starting with modern dance in 1999 in San Diego.  While in San Diego, he danced primarily with San Diego Dance Theatre and the California Ballet Company.  He also performed with Butterworth Dance Company and LaDiego Dance Theater.
