Molly Haslag

Company Artist

Molly Haslag began formal dance training in her hometown of Jefferson City, Missouri at the age of four. In 2017, she graduated Summa Cum Laude from Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Science in Dance and a Bachelor of Social Work. Upon graduation, Molly accepted a position as a company dancer with the Dancing Wheels Company and School in Cleveland, Ohio. During her four seasons with the company, she enjoyed both national and international touring and performing works by choreographers such as Marc Brew, David Dorfman, Catherine Meredith, Dianne McIntyre, James Morrow, David Rousseve, and Mark Tomasic. Beyond her work at Dancing Wheels, Molly also danced and choreographed as a freelance artist with Levity Dance and Physical Theatre, The Cleveland Dance Project, and MorrisonDance. Outside of performing, Molly earned her Teacher Certification in Physically Integrated Dance and was a regular teacher for Dancing Wheels’ company classes, within the company’s school and outreach programming for individuals with and without disabilities, and at several studios in the Greater Cleveland area.

Since moving to Nashville, Tennessee in 2021, Molly has enjoyed doing freelance work with Satellite Dance, Found Movement Group, and additional independent projects, performing as a company dancer with di Mossa, Nashville Dance Collective, X Contemporary Dance, and Project Awake, and continuing to share her love of dance to people of all abilities as a teacher at MOVE Inclusive Dance. Molly is thrilled to be expanding her work as an aerial artist and is excited for her first performance with FALL in A Bending of Its Own Kind in Knoxville!

Outside of dance, Molly earned her Master of Social Work from Cleveland State University in 2021 and is currently employed as a Licensed Master Social Worker at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.
