Kaitlyn has been dancing since the age of three and competing since six. Although this is her first year officially being an instructor at Hart, she is not new to the studio. Kaitlyn started dancing competitively at Hart when she was nine years old, and after she graduated in 2020, she relocated to San Diego to attend San Diego State University. Kaitlyn was on the dance team for all four years of college, competing nationally at the D1A level. During her time in college, she spent two years teaching and choreographing at Touch of Class, a competitive Dance studio in San Diego. This past year, Kaitlyn graduated and made the decision to go on teaching at the same location that helped shape her into the dancer she is today.
