Lydia Ross

Lydia Ross, originally from Richmond, Virginia, discovered her love for dance through Richmond Ballet’s Mind in Motion program, which sparked a lifelong passion for dance. She began her training at the School of Richmond Ballet, where she quickly advanced through the ranks, participating in the school’s prestigious trainee program. During this time, she partnered with the VCU Dance program, expanding her knowledge of dance and earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Her dual focus on dance and psychology has given her a unique perspective on the emotional and mental benefits of dance. Lydia then pursued a professional dance career performing with various companies and currently dances with Latin Ballet of Virginia. Lydia is a founding member of Conflux Dance Theater and has performed works by Angelica Burgos, Yusha Sorzano, Norbert De La Cruz, Miguel Perez, JA Collective, Stephanie Martinez, and James Gregg. These choreographers have significance in her growth as an artist, allowing her to explore a range of artistry and physicality through dance. Lydia is thrilled to be performing with Conflux in her fifth season with the company!
