Meet Austin
A proud Canadian who leads with kindness and curiosity, Austin Braxton-Smith has built a career in dance that spans theatre, concert dance, and commercial work. As a dancer, Austin has performed across North America with The Phantom of the Opera, at Jacob's Pillow with Bruce Wood Dance, and in Lil Uzi Vert's "Demon High" music video. She can be seen in commercials for Patrón Tequila, Society6, and Beachbody, among others.
Austin's affinity for organization and detail has provided her the opportunity to be a Show Supervisor for Step One Dance Company (RWS) as well as an assistant to Marguerite Derricks, choreographer of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Austin's choreography was featured in Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS' 34th Annual Easter Bonnet Competition.
Passionate about work at the intersection of advocacy and the arts, Austin has an extensive background in the nonprofit sector. As Program Manager at the Broadway Green Alliance, Austin co-authored the greener reopening toolkit and has lectured on sustainable practices at Lincoln Center, FIT, and Playbill's Curtain Up! festival in Times Square.
Drawn towards projects that connect, challenge, and entertain, Austin looks forward to future collaborations and opportunities to grow.
