About NORTH STAR DANCE FOUNDATION

Courtland was raised in Kaysville, Utah, where he studied ballet at Clytie Adams School of Ballet from the age of nine until he entered the University of Utah on the Willem F. Christensen Scholarship. He accepted an apprenticeship with the Pacific Northwest Ballet in 1981 and danced with that company under Kent Stowell and Francia Russell until 1988. He spent the next three years as a freelance artist, dancing with numerous companies throughout the western United States, as well as performing professional musical comedy as a member of Actors’ Equity Union. Mr. Weaver danced as a soloist with the Ballet of Los Angeles and Ballet Arizona. He choreographed works for several festivals and attended Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute Dance to Video workshop in 1988.

In 1991 he began dancing with Le Ballet du Rhin, the French national company of the Alsace region where he danced for two seasons. He returned to the U.S. and danced for the San Francisco Opera season in 1994. In 1996, he began teaching at several different private dance schools in the Basel/Mulhouse/Colmar region and continued dancing and choreographing with a small group of friends in a company called Art’maniac.
