Ellie Claire Williams is a New York City–based dancer, singer, and actor currently training in the Professional Semester Program at Broadway Dance Center, where she studies with world-class educators and industry professionals.

Originally from Houston, Texas, Ellie discovered her passion for performing at a young age. From participating in a Rapunzel Jr. camp at just six years old to joining the competitive dance world by age nine, the stage quickly became her home. She spent her formative years performing throughout Houston in various theaters while training extensively in dance, voice, and acting under companies such as the Humphrey’s School at Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS Houston).

In 2019, Ellie was named a winner of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) competition in Houston. She later continued her training at the Broadway Theatre Project in Tampa, Florida, under the direction of founder Deb McWaters.

Ellie initially pursued a degree in Marketing at Sam Houston State University before ultimately deciding to follow her passion and relocate to New York City. There, she reconnected with her love for performing and committed herself fully to her artistic development.

She has been fortunate to train under and be mentored by respected industry professionals, including Daniel Booda, Marjorie Failoni, and Patrick Garr.

Ellie strives to be the best version of herself both on and off the stage. She values meaningful connections and thrives in environments that foster encouragement, positivity, and growth. Guided by the belief that human energy is everything, she carries the lessons and inspiration gained from her training into every aspect of her career.
