Jean-Paul Weaver received his training at the LINES Ballet Training Program in San Francisco. While studying with LINES, he danced with the San Francisco Opera, in the ODC Pilot Point Series, and in the Bay Area's Black Choreographer's Festival. He has an A.A. in both Theatre and Dance from Casper College in Casper Wyoming, and has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. He was a member of Deeply Rooted Dance Theatre’s second company, has danced with Renegade Performance Group, and is beyond grateful to now be dancing with Elements Contemporary Ballet. He would like to thank Karah Abiog and Travis Rowland for all of their guidance, wisdom, and support; his parents, brother, and sister, for their love and support, and every teacher who has believed in him enough to challenge him to go much further than he could have ever imagined!
