About

Kara Skaptason began her dance endeavors at the age of 3, in her hometown suburb just outside of Houston, Texas. During her years at Boni’s Dance and Performing Arts Studio, Kara fell in love with dancing and performing in multiple styles while competing in a competitive dance team known as Boni’s En Toure, where she received a portion of her pre-professional training. She continued her training across the country to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she enrolled as a student at Point Park University. She has been further exposed to a multitude of cultural aspects in dance that enriched her artistry and passion for versatility. Kara has performed in numerous Concert works by incredible choreographers within her time at Point Park, including: Exodus by Rennie Harris, Partner by Jae Man Joo, Just Dope! By Latasha Barnes, Core Affect by Marc Spaulding, Rhapsody by Rocker Verastique, and Paquita by Marius Petipa under the rehearsal direction of Susan Stowe. Alongside performing, Kara has grown a deep interest in choreography. She recently debuted her choreographic work Unspoken Unity in Point Park’s Student Choreography Showcase in the Fall of 2022. Working cohesively with Riley Goudy in a student-run organization, Kara was also the Co-President of IMPULSE, the university’s Hip Hop Dance Club, where opportunities are made to take classes, teach, choreograph, and perform in on-campus events. Now that Kara graduated in the Spring of 2023, she is elated to continue her passions with many amazing artists throughout her lifetime and is excited to become booked and blessed as they say!
