Caitlin Wellman

Caitlin teaches her students more than just a bunch of cool moves (but they get that too)! Her focus on solid lead/follow technique based on momentum, connection, and rhythm helps her students enjoy the dance on a deeper level and become more connected to the music and their partner. Her teaching is clear and articulate, and full of fun and creative ways of improving your dancing.

She was a founding member of the multi-award winning performance troupe Minnie’s Moochers, from Ithaca, NY, who recently performed at the Frankie95 Celebration in NYC. She has been in demand as a teacher across the US, Canada, Europe, Australia and Asia for many years. With her Toronto partner Chachi, she is the Director & Choreographer for Capital Dance Productions, Toronto’s premiere swing and jazz performance troupe. She has also been the Artistic Director and Choreographer of The Flappettes, a sassy all female 1920’s Jazz & Charleston troupe.

Caitlin has also made several television and print appearances including: Instant Star, Much Music Video Awards ‘06 with Fall Out Boy, Toronto 1 “Toronto Dances” program, and the cover of Dance Spirit Magazine.
