Cecily Holcombe discovered her love for dance when she accidentally stumbled into a modern dance class at UCSD. She graduated with a B.S. in physics and performed with Liss Fain Dance in San Francisco while earning her teaching credential. Cecily has performed with LITVAKdance and San Diego Dance Theater and has been honored to work with many local San Diego artists including Blythe Barton, Lavina Rich, and Khamla Somphanh, among others. She premiered her first choreographic work at San Diego Dance Theater's Live Arts Fest in 2022 and has continued to create and present new works in San Diego. She was the recipient of DISCO RIOT’s S P A C E Pro Residency in 2024, was recently commissioned in 2025 to create work for Malashock Dance's SEED, and is co-producing an evening at ODC in San Francisco in June 2025.
