Growing up in South Florida, she attended A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts and studied primarily under former American Ballet Theater company member, Eileen Hebron. She has performed works by Ken Ossola, Aszure Barton, James Finnemore, Norbert De La Cruz III, Jennifer Archibald, Murray Lewis, Paul Taylor, George Balanchine, and Bob Fosse amongst many more internationally recognized choreographers.

As a choreographer, she has presented work at the historic 92NY’s Buttenweiser Hall at the 2025 Future Dance Festival, curated by a panel of esteemed visionaries including Michael Novak, Dante Puleio, Danni Gee, Janet Wong, and Charmaine Warren. In 2025, she joined Jessie Lee Thorne and Laja Field as choreographic assistant for a creative process in Boston, MA. Over 2023 and 2024, Ekko was selected to premiere three original choreographic works presented at the Boston Conservatory mainstage theater. In 2022, she was awarded the New Century Dance Project Grand Prize for composition under the direction of Jim Vincent, Penny Saunders, Yusha-Marie Sorzano, and Francisco Gella. Her work seeks to capture the human condition in relation to memory.
Ekko has taught and choreographed at studios throughout South Florida, teaching a variety of styles to a wide range of ages, from children to adults. She harnesses a cyclical pedagogical approach, recognizing the give and take dynamic necessary to facilitate both artistic and technical growth. Within her role as an educator, she aims to promote individual exploration and agency, while also emphasizing the power of the collective. She has been an educator with the following institutions: Palm Beach Atlantic University Preparatory Program, That’s Dancing, Precision Dance Conservatory, and Palm Beach Academy of Dance Arts.
Ekko has additional interest in movement direction, design, and film. In 2025, she worked alongside creative partner Molly Jane Dunne with Massachusetts based independent, multi-brand women’s retailer, Viola Lovely, to capture garments in motion for the S/S season. She has both choreographed and danced for film, starting from collaborations with her father as a child and most recently, working with artist Abby Falzone on Remember Me (please, please, please) (Boston Globe Emerging Filmmaker Competition Finalist).
In November, she will be performing as a company member with Lam Dance Works under artistic director and former Boston Ballet principal, John Lam, for its inaugural performance in Boston, MA.
