TESTIMONIALS:
I hired Cailyn to set a hiphop routine on our dance team for halftime performances during basketball season! Cailyn’s choreography was so fun and exciting that we ended up using it for multiple performances throughout the remainder of the school year! She came in every day with a positive attitude and pushed each and every dancer to their fullest potential! Each rehearsal, she was prepared and ready to work! She is professional, extremely kind, and easy to work with. My students loved Cailyn, and were always hyped when we got to perform her routine! Cailyn’s choreography was creative, innovative, and made the entire crowd cheer! I would highly recommend using her for any of your choreographic needs!

We were fortunate to have Cailyn choreograph our Pom routine last season, and under her direction our team earned first place in the 4A division at the DTU Nevada State competition. Many of our dancers were brand new to the Pom style, yet Cailyn’s ability to teach, motivate, and bring out the absolute best in them made all the difference. Her leadership and artistry were invaluable, and it was an easy decision to bring her back for a second season. We are thrilled to continue working with her and excited to see what this season brings.

Cailyn did an incredible job choreographing our gameday routine last year. Her creativity, musicality, and attention to detail truly brought our vision to life and elevated our team’s performance. She took the time to understand our style and strengths and created choreography that was both dynamic and crowd-engaging while still being achievable for our dancers.She was professional, organized, and such a positive presence throughout the entire process. Our dancers felt confident, powerful, and proud every time they performed the routine. We are so grateful for her talent, dedication, and passion, and we would absolutely love the opportunity to work with her again in the future.
