Born and raised in Ohio, Abbie Ackerman's parents had a feeling she would be a performer when at
four years of age they would find her singing and dancing in the living room to her favorite record
"Walk Like an Egyptian". Abbie graduated from Ohio University in 2005 with a BFA in Modern Dance
and Choreography. While at OU, she participated in several concerts and tours as a dancer,
choreographer, and technician. At summer intensives she had the opportunity to work with artists such as
Bill T. Jones, David Dorfman, Bill Evans, Dancing Wheels, AXIS Dance, and Full Radius Dance.
This year marks twenty years of dancing and a full circle dream realization. She would like to thank Danny
and the company for welcoming her with such open arms.
