Katelyn Hamilton
Katelyn began her
dance training from a very young age at Showbiz Kids and Dance Company and
other various studios in the Atlanta area. Along with her early dance training,
she also started dancing competitively at the age of 5. She competed at
competitions such as Showstoppers, Stage One, Applause, BravO!, and many others
where she won a variety of adjudication awards, titles, and overall awards.
During her time in high school, she decided to focus on furthering her Ballet
and Pointe training at Metayer Conservatory of the Arts. She then had the
opportunity to perform in Regine Metayer’s rendition of the Nutcracker, titled, A Christmas Fairytale, where she performed lead roles such as
Marzipan, Chinese, and Spanish. After graduating from high school, she then
chose to expand her training at a collegiate level at Florida State University
as a Dance major and plans to receive her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2021. Since
her time at Florida State, she has performed in re-staging of works from
artists such as Dan Wagoner, Ann Carlson, and Peter Chu. She has also worked
alongside Master of Fine Arts Candidates at Florida State University such as
Ryan McMullen, Christa Williams, and Francisco Graciano. Katelyn has recently
created a piece in collaboration with her fellow colleague, Aaron Smith,
titled, “Relief in Tandem” which was performed at the American College Dance
Association Southeast Conference 2019 and Florida State University’s School of
Dance 2019 spring concert, “Days of Dance”. She looks forward to furthering her
training this summer at the Paul Taylor American Dance Summer Intensive in New
York.
