Dallin Maybee
Ensemble Dancer

Dallin Maybee is Northern Arapaho and Seneca, and was raised on the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation in Western New York. He started intertribal dancing and competing at the age of 14. His travels have taken him throughout the world, including; China, Mongolia, The United Kingdom and most of Europe, Qatar in the Middle East, Ecuador, Chile, and extensively throughout the United States. He has traveled with the acclaimed American Indian Dance Theater for the last 4 years. Their performances have included the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, two specials for Great Performances and PBS, and various theaters and cultural centers worldwide. The blend of traditional and contemporary dance experience explored by the Dance Theater is reflected in his own dance group, The Thunder Being Dancers. Other significant experiences include his participation as part of the production team of the 2002 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies where he worked as a consulting choreographer to the 660 members of the Native American cast. He was also given a featured dance performance position as the world watched that opening to one of the worlds greatest sports competitions.

Dallin is grateful for the gifts and talents afforded him and hopes to offer those gifts to the enjoyment of others. “I have learned so many lessons from the values contained within the cultural structure of our song and dance, it has made me who I am today. It is up to God to decide in what way he chooses to bless our lives, and it is up to us to choose in what way we use those blessings to serve others.”
