Born in San Jose, Caitlyn started dance at the young age of four. After moving to Northern California, she immediately continued her dance classes at a local studio, which ignited a passion and unleashed a gift. She began with ballet and jazz classes. Soon after, she expanded to tap, musical theater, contemporary, lyrical, hip-hop, and eventually pointe. Caitlyn joined the studio’s dance company, including musical theater and began competing at dance competitions. She was invited to perform alongside the Auburn Symphony at local school events to promote the arts, as well as choreograph for a local theater. Among the various dance awards, she was humbled when she was chosen by Stacey Tookey as her Die Hard dancer for the weekend at a convention, out of 500 other dancers. Caitlyn furthered her discipline by training at a private dance studio with dance teachers/choreographers, Keone and Mari Madrid (currently on NBC World of Dance), at Building Block Dance Studio in Carlsbad. She added stage manager to her resume, when she joined the CYT Sacramento family for the production of Little Mermaid Jr in 2015. In the Winter of that same year, Caitlyn had the pleasure of performing in Thoroughly Modern Millie. Being no stranger to the stage, she has since performed in Tarzan, Fiddler on the Roof, Crazy For You and Disney’s Aladdin Jr. One of Caitlyn’s greatest pleasures is to teach others the joy of movement through dance. She is thrilled to be a part of CYT Sacramento, where she can impart her knowledge and love of dance.

Hi, I'm Rachel! I'm almost 21 years old, and my whole heart is enveloped in my passion for dance, theater, and using my gifts to serve The Lord. I committed my heart to following Jesus when I was 18, after that I attended Calvary Chapel Bible College and through that I was given the opportunity countless times to witness miracles firsthand of how God uses broken people to form something beautiful. I started dancing when I was 3 years old, and I've loved it every day since then! Through high school I was a part of a theater program, which I loved, and when I was 18 I began working for CYT. I've been with the company on and off for about 2.5 years now, and I am so happy to be working with them still!
Whether on stage or behind a microphone, Susan has been a part of Sacramento’s theater and broadcasting community for over 25 years. During her acting years in high school and as a theater arts scholarship major in college, favorite roles included Madame Dubonnet in "The Boyfriend", Gwendolyn in "The Importance of Being Ernest" and Sophie in "The Star Spangled Girl"....yup, always loved the accents! Which led naturally to her subsequent career spent primarily in "theater of the mind" - the radio and voiceover industry. She has been on the air at a variety of Sacramento radio stations through the years including Gold Country (KRAK), pop (Y-92) and Smooth Jazz (KSSJ). She also worked as a news anchor and traffic reporter with Metro Networks in Sacramento and Atlanta, Georgia - including a stint broadcasting daily morning and afternoon reports from a traffic plane! She did step out from behind the microphone to serve as a regular pledge drive host for KVIE public television with one of the highlights there being co-host to John Tesh on the taping of his "One World" national PBS music special. Susan now divides her time as a freelance voice actor/producer and part-time multimedia news and public affairs producer for KLOVE/Air1 Networks. The “productions” she is most proud of are her 4 great kids who have all inherited her love of music and the theater.
