Katelyn has been dancing since the age of 3 and completed a significant part of her training at Studio West Dance Academy in Olympia, WA, under the direction of Stephanie Wood Ennett. While attending SWDA, Katelyn had the opportunity to dance leading roles as the Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker and Tinker Bell in Peter Pan, along with numerous contemporary partnering performances. Katelyn moved to Arizona at age 15 to dance with David King and Ashley Baker at The Ballet Clinic. Katelyn trained at Houston Ballet Academy the following year, where she performed in The Nutcracker and Claudio Munoz’s Coppelia. Katelyn is now looking forward to dancing at Ballet Arizona.
Katelyn broadened her training with summer intensives such as SAB Young Dancer, ABT Virtual, Bolshoi Ballet NY, Nashville Ballet, Houston Ballet, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, San Francisco Ballet, and Ballet Arizona.
Some so many teachers shaped Katelyn into the ballerina she is today. Still, without Stephanie Wood Ennett, Marianna Ramsour, and Gabriella Woolley’s unwavering support, she wouldn’t have this fantastic opportunity to pursue her dreams. Katelyn enjoys traveling, reading, and hanging out with her family and friends.
