She continued her studies at George Brown College’s Performance Preparation Program, where she was honored with the Faculty Award for Excellence, a testament to her dedication and artistry.

Today, Kaitlind performs with Breakaway Entertainment, High Society Cabaret, and Interactive Entertainment, bringing her vibrant stage presence and technical precision to audiences across Toronto.

💫 Kaitlind’s classes are more than just dance, they’re a celebration of movement, discipline and joy. Whether your child is just starting out or looking to refine their skills, Kaitlind brings warmth, professionalism, and a deep love for the art to every studio session.
