Ramona Orion is a St. Louis-based dancer, writer, and teacher. Her creative/movement/life approach is informed by play and the many ways it can be leaned into. Her background in somatics and improvisation deepen this practice. She obtained her 200HR-YTT in 2024 and has studied Tai Chi and Qigong, Alexander Technique, and Continuum Movement, among other somatic practices.

Ramona has a personal improv practice that blends movement, visual art and writing, and has been performing improv in and around St. Louis since completing her undergraduate degree in 2023. She holds a BA in Dance from Webster University, where she also studied psychology and expressive arts therapy. She is in her third year as a company member with Karlovsky & Company Dance under the direction of Dawn Karlovsky. Ramona is in her second year as Assistant Director of Space Station Dance, working alongside Jacob Henss and Robbie Van Ness to showcase experimental dance in St.Louis.
