Easton Smith began his training in Indiana. He moved to train at the Washington School of Ballet in D.C., and then the Pacific Northwest Ballet, finishing his training in California at Contra Costa Ballet in 1997. From 1998 to 2003, Easton danced with San Francisco’s Smuin Ballet, which Dance Magazine called “one of this country’s most entertaining, original ballet troupes.” He continued with the Sacramento Ballet for the next two seasons until again teaming up with the Smuin Ballet for the 2005-2006 season while doing guest work for Sacramento Ballet's fall season. Easton has just returned from performing in Tokyo with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and other influential artists of America as a gift to Daisaku Ikeda for Mr. Ikeda's achievement of 200 honorary doctorates. Easton is currently working on his own dance project at the Urban Art Farm, an artist co-op in San Francisco, as well as choreographing a show at Soka University in Los Angeles.
