Elektra Ditto

I was born in San Francisco's Haight Ashbury to artist parents, painter Julie Ditto and Frank Ditto actor/producer. As I kid I attended Rooftop Alternative school a K-8 school featured on Oprah Winfrey, for having the arts incorporated into all areas of the curriculum. During this time I was cast in supporting roles in some award winning films and was able to learn about movies from being in front and behind the camera. In high school I majored in dance at Jerry Brown's Oakland school for the arts. There I was lucky enough to study under 14 year Broadway veterans and have master classes with Alvin Ailey company members. Being apart of this competitive pre professional program was where I really learned the importance of discipline in achieving artistic goals. It also allowed me many great performance opportunities such as at the Getty Mansion and Fox Theater Oakland. Since then I went on to major in Dance at Mills College and theater at American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Manhattan. I now live and work as an actor and dancer in New York.
