Holly Welpott-Dubé is a Northern California native whose foundation in both classical and contemporary dance was cultivated from an early age. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Dance: Performance and Choreography from Saint Mary’s College of California, graduating summa cum laude with Honors in the major and as a member of Phi Kappa Phi. During her studies, her original work She Remembers was selected for performance at the American College Dance Association’s National Gala—an honor recognizing emerging choreographic talent.

While still in college, Dubé served as Assistant Director at Applegate Dance Studio during the 2020 season, contributing numerous original choreographic works.

Following graduation, she performed professionally as a Principal Artist with Sacramento Contemporary Dance Theater (2021–2022), a Company Member with Davalos Dance Company (2020-2021), and Ballet Hartford in Connecticut (2023-2024). Since 2022-current, she has been a Company Dancer with Chadash Contemporary Dance Movement, where she continues to bring her artistry, technical precision, and love of performance to audiences.

Alongside her performance career, Dubé has remained deeply committed to teaching and choreographing. She has worked with several leading dance institutions in Northern California and Connecticut, guiding students into top-tier collegiate and pre-professional programs. Her teaching emphasizes strong technical foundation, artistic exploration, and personal integrity—encouraging dancers to develop not only as performers, but as thinkers and creators.

Drawing from her extensive experience in both academic and professional settings, Dubé founded the Dubé Pre-Professional Company, a space for aspiring dancers to train, grow, and thrive under a comprehensive and artistically rigorous curriculum that reflects the evolving demands of today’s dance world.
