she wanted to be a dancer. Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Modern,ETC...her entire life revolved around some type of creative movement.
She grew up dancing for a local Long Beach dance studio where she not only mastered her technique but learned to really
apprieciate performing and working with children. She started teaching at the age of 16. At the age of 17 she formed
an All Star Cheer and Dance team. For the next 7 years she owned and operated every aspect of Long Beach Elite cheerleading

she taught many other dance class for children and adults. In 2006 she began working for another (to remain nameless)
company in Long Beach where she sucessfully built her fan base teaching pole dancing as a fitness. After
several years of working for others she and Gina, her friend and business partner, decided to open their own dance
and fitness studio. They wanted to bring their talents to others in a positive and creative environment. From
music videos to live theater, Caitlin has been a part of so much and worked with some of the dance world's finest. After
a long career in the spotlight she has no plans of stopping now ;) On to conquering the world of Burlesque! As
