Lizzy Howell is a dancer, teacher, and choreographer from Delaware. She is most known for  her stance on body image and body positivity in the dance world, and is a wonderful addition to the Fierce Dance Academy staff. 

 

Lizzy started dancing at the age of 5 and quickly grew to love it. It wasn't until Lizzy was a teen that she found her voice in the dance world. Lizzy trained under a variety of choreographers such as Andrew Winghart, and a 2 week intensive training with Francisco Gella on full scholarship.

 

As a dancer, Lizzy has had the pleasure of touring the country for shows like Eurovision in Israel, where she shared the stage with Madonna. She has been featured in commercials and campaigns for Adidas, Target, AT&T, Lange Bryant, Instagram, American Eagle, Capezio, and more; proving her statement that dancers can be any size and still be successful.
