Growing up near Dallas, Bri began dancing at Tuzer Dance School in Richardson, Texas, with Patricia and Tanju Tuzer.  For 13 years, she trained innumerable hours in Classical Ballet and continued training in the Pre-Professional Division at Texas Ballet Theater with an emphasis of Classical Ballet as well as Horton Technique in Modern Dance.


As an undergrad at Collin College from 2018-2020, Bri was invited to join Collin Dance Ensemble under the direction of Tiffanee Arnold.  Bri performed various works from guest choreographers including Shate’ Edwards, Melissa Bjork, Shannon Watters, Darby Wilde, and Jamie Perrin.  In 2020, Bri transferred to the University of Central Oklahoma to pursue her B.F.A in Dance Performance.  During her time at UCO, she was invited to join Kaleidoscope Dance Company in the emphasis of Modern and Contemporary Dance and had the privilege to work with guest artists including Christian Von Howard, Jesse Zaritt, Tiffanie Carson, George Staib, Andrew Wass, Alexander Olivieri, and Mike Esperanza.


Following graduation with her B.F.A in 2023, Bri has taught at various studios in the Oklahoma City and Dallas metroplex areas in the styles of ballet, jazz, contemporary, and modern.  She is also on the judges staff for Fly Dance Competition.  She is thrilled to be joining Ballet Papillon as their Rehearsal Director!
