Polly Fitch began her dance journey 16 years ago. During her years as a student, Polly studied modern, contemporary, ballet, jazz, nontraditional partnering, lyrical, tap, hip hop, and various other dance styles. She performed and competed with different studios around Collin County, Texas. At 16 years old, Polly performed two professional productions with Epiphany Dance Arts as a Training Artist. Around this time, she was given the opportunity to choreograph dances on herself and her peers. She began her teaching career through teaching Summer Camps/classes and Assistant teaching students ages three and up. During these years, she discovered and cultivated her passion for performing, choreographing, and teaching dance.

Polly received her Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Dance from Belhaven University in May 2022. While pursuing her undergraduate degree, she performed in various modern and ballet works with Belhaven University’s Dance Ensemble and the Dance Ministry Ensemble. During this time, she choreographed multiple group works and solos that were showcased in Belhaven’s Senior Dance Concert and the Emerging Choreographer’s Concert. Polly also enjoyed learning about stage production through her experience as a stage manager, light operator, house manager, and strike coordinator. She left Belhaven with refined experience in dance performance, choreography, teaching and pedagogy, production experience, and dance office management.

Polly worked as a choreographer and dance instructor at multiple studios throughout Collin County. She taught contemporary, modern, ballet, variations, pre-pointe, jazz, combo classes, and improvisation classes. She served as the lead choreographer and rehearsal director for the RFAC Dance Rep at Toby’s School of Dance in Collin County Texas. There, her pieces won multiple awards at local dance competitions. In spring 2024, Polly choreographed a large-scale ballet production based off C.S. Lewis’s, The Chronicles of Narnia,  “Step Into the Wardrobe”. This hour length production featured both students and professional dance artists. Around this time, she danced with Full Circle Dance of North Texas as a company member during the 2023-2024 season.
