Caroline is a performing artist, teacher, and choreographer. After graduating in 2012 with a BA in Dance from Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania, Caroline worked in Philadelphia for eight years performing as a company member with SHARP Dance Company and Dance Fusion, both with whom she toured nationally and internationally. As a teaching artist Caroline worked with Dancing Classrooms Philadelphia teaching ballroom dance to fifth grade students in diverse classrooms throughout the city. She also worked as an adjunct professor and office administrator at Eastern, teaching both theory and technique, producing departmental concerts, advising undergraduate students, and setting original choreography on students. A recent alum of the MFA program at The University of Colorado Boulder, Caroline is interested in applying a critical lens to dance pedagogy and history. A guiding theme in her research is using dance in all its capacities as a strategy for sitting in and with discomfort, practicing radical relationality by honoring the uniqueness of the self while seeing that in the other. Ultimately Caroline is passionate about fostering environments where individuals feel rooted in their humanness and connected to one another, recognizing their gifts and leaning bravely into their growth edges.
