About Us
Caroline and Caitlin grew up dancing in Marblehead for the Young Dance Company of America under the tutelage of Professional Broadway dancer, Bill Haggett. There they studied tap, jazz, ballet and broadway dance and had the opportunity to perform in many venues such as the Boston Hatch Shell on the Esplande, Boston City Hall Plaza, the Governor’s Christmas Party, the Boston Common Christmas Tree Lighting, Salem Willows, Disney World and many more. During their time at the Young Dance Company, they gained valuable insights, including the importance of community, positive reinforcement, prioritizing progress over perfection, and the connection between mind and body. Both have continued their love of learning and teaching dance over the years and are so excited to join together to bring all they know to this dynamic new dance company to Marblehead.
