BAILEY PORTELL

Bailey Portell is a graduate of the Yvonne Chouteau School of Oklahoma City Ballet, where she trained as a student and performed with Oklahoma City Ballet in numerous productions, including The Nutcracker.

Bailey now teaches at the Yvonne Chouteau School, where she enjoys sharing her love of dance with the next generation of young dancers. She strives to create a positive and encouraging environment where students can develop their ballet technique, musicality, and confidence while discovering their own love of movement. Bailey also has experience in adaptive dance education, working with students of varying abilities to make dance accessible, engaging, and enjoyable for everyone. In addition to teaching, she works at the front desk, where she enjoys connecting with students and families throughout the school.

Outside of the studio, Bailey enjoys music, creative expression, and all things spooky. She loves bringing her creativity and sense of humor into everyday life and is grateful to continue being part of the Oklahoma City Ballet community as both an alumna and an educator.
