Jacob Regan
Dancer
Jacob Regan is a movement researcher who has a love for dance, a knack for falling, and a passion for improvisation. In 2017 he got his BFA in Dance Performance and Choreography from East Carolina University, where he was introduced to both contact improvisation and formal philosophy. These both developed into fascinations for Jacob, the zeal of which he may never recover from. While living in Boston, he danced with Urbanity Dance Company, Prometheus Dance, Lorraine Chapman the Company, and worked with Contact Improvisation Boston and Contact Improvisation Jamaica Plain to facilitate weekly improv jams. A wanderer at heart, he’s grateful to have spent the past eight months before moving to Texas traveling around the lower 48 US states with his life and dance partner Jen Passios, living mostly out of a tent and dancing in many national parts, forests, and the occasional cave. Jacob is a MFA Dance graduate student at Sam Houston State University and in his second season with NobleMotion.

Dillon Bell
Dancer
Since the age of 3, Dillon has strived for a tenacious grasp for movement and rhythm. He developed his own quality at Amanda’s Dance Center in Daytona Beach, Florida up until age 18. Leaning more and more towards concert dance, he began to gravitate toward the Orlando scene, working with Kathy Follensbee at Dr. Phillips High School. This gateway opportunity led him to work with much-acclaimed companies and choreographers, such as Jon Lehrer, Layla Amis, Robert Moses, Kiki Lucas, Joshua Manculich, and Andrew and Dionne Noble. Dillon is currently training with the Sam Houston State University Dance Department, further cultivating his own twist and intricacy of the movement itself. He now moves alongside another handful of extremely talented movers and minds, such as Adele Nickel, Francisco Graciano, Travis Lake, and other NobleMotionDance company members such as Evelyn Toh, Colette Kerwick, and Abby Schafer. Dillon is beyond excited to be training as an apprentice for this season.
