B Dean (they/he) is an earthbound and airborne dancer, queer world-builder, and white transboy who has lived on unceded Ohlone territory, the Bay Area, for fifteen years. Rooted in site-specific vertical dance, B has created and performed large-scale work on iconic structures across six continents, from St. Paul's Cathedral to Lincoln Center to skyscrapers, cliffs, and cranes.

As a core artist and former Associate Artistic Director with BANDALOOP, B has performed alongside P!NK at the American Music Awards, appeared in a music video with Pattie Gonia and Imogen Heap, and directed productions for major festivals and collaborations with Grammy-winning artists including Roomful of Teeth. They also perform with Flyaway Productions, Zaccho Dance Theater, Sean Dorsey Dance, Joe Goode Performance Group, Megan Lowe Dances, gizeh muñiz vengal, Clarissa Rivera Dyas, and Circo Zero. B is an Artist in Residence at Zaccho Dance Theater and Bridge Live Arts, and serves as President of the Board for GRAVITY.

Drawing influence from contemporary dance theater and high-velocity acrobatic disciplines, B makes work that shifts perspectives on the body's limits and interrupts the sociopolitical forces that dictate our relationships to bodies and space. Their site-specific performances and workshops consider the histories and ecologies of each site, loosen the patterns that keep bodies fixed or tamed, and invite multiple dimensions into how we see a space.
