ABOUT ME.
Kaitlyn is a triple threat based in NYC. A Poughkeepsie, NY native, Kaitlyn found her way to the stage by studying dance at a very young age. To pursue tap dance professionally, she traveled to New York City to perform and train under mentors David Rider, Michelle Dorrance, and Aaron Tolson.

She has performed in New York City venues such as City Center, The Joyce Theatre, The Duke on 42nd Street and Symphony Space.
