Bebe Miller was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York in 1950. She began taking modern dance classes as young as five years old. She graduated from Earlham College in 1971 with a degree in art and later earned her master’s degree from Ohio State University. Afterwards, she began dancing for the Nina Wiener Dance Company. This ensemble combined repetitive patterns with cool precision, with Wiener’s emotional current relevant throughout. Dancers use limited but very precise movements repetitively in an almost hypnotic manner. Bebe Miller danced with the company for six years before leaving to form her own company. The unique nature of the Nina Wiener Dance Company clearly influenced Miller in her own work.
Miller’s choreographic work has always been based on exploring the human condition. She is interested in all forms of human expression and did not want to limit herself. This led to her developing the Bebe Miller Company, to surround herself around others to learn, explore, and showcase the multiple expressions of humanity.

It’s interesting to see Miller as someone willing to educate, as she created her own dance company. However, you can also see how she utilizes it to surround herself with other great talents.
