Dario Mejia

Dario Mejia has been following his dreams ever since he was young. He started his formal dance training at the age of eight and has been pursuing this career path ever since. Receiving training through Larkin Dance Studio and graduating from Mahtomedi High School with honors, he became well prepared for his future in the world of dance. This lead him to become a National Foundation for the Advancement in the Arts award winner for dance in 2000. Dario continued his education at the Julliard School in Manhattan to later join the Mark Morris Dance Group. Recently, Dario performed in the film “Across the Universe,” one of the few movies still “Made in NYC,” with director Julie Taymor and choreographer Danny. Striving to establish himself as a choreographer and performer, Dario has returned to Minnesota Dance Theatre where he will continue to pursue a career in dance.
