Valeria Fleming was one of the original founders of Portico Dance Theater, now Oklahoma Movement, and is grateful to have been welcomed back into the fold since returning to Oklahoma last year. As an Artistic Director in its early days, she had the privilege to help direct, choreograph and perform in several original works including Elements, Alice in Wonderland, and Super Suite. Val created and directed the original full-length Super Suite in 2011. Currently, Valeria works independently as a physical therapist with a special interest in dance medicine. She has had the pleasure of treating the professional artists of Ballet San Antonio, American Midwest Ballet, and individual performers in Las Vegas, Nevada. She resides in Edmond with her loving husband, two beautiful children, and cranky old dog.
