​​Johnna Opheim (St. Louis, MO) began dancing when she was 2.5 years old at Lucille Rapp Dance Studio, where she stayed until her graduation in 2025 and now continues to be on the teaching staff. In 24/25 she took ballet at Webster University and was able to perform works by MJ Imani and Michael Uthoff. Johnna has had the opportunity to work with STLDT several times over the past couple years through the Elevate Student Project where she performed works by Megan Rancour, Carly Vanderheyden, Erin Prange, Eibhlin Arvizu, and Jacque Hartman, and was the soloist in a piece by Isaiah Valentin. She is excited to continue working with this great company over the 25/26 season.
