✨Caitlin Webster✨
Caitlin has been dancing competitively and for fun since she was 5 years old. She started in ballet and progressed to competing internationally in Irish dancing for most of her childhood. After tragically getting injured and needing hip surgeries, she stopped and didn’t dance for most of high school. Dance 400 at CSM and it’s wonderful community has been instrumental at bringing her back into the world of dance. Now she loves modern dance and exploring emotion through movement. Caitlin plans to get a degree in ecology and to work to save our oceans.

✨Toby Frank✨
Toby is a music and theatre arts double major. This semester has been solely focused on returning to one of his favourite activities- dancing with amazing people. He has several years of dance training under his belt, but this is his first semester back since quarantine started! He has been receiving training since he was only 14 years old and has loved it immensely over time. His favourite types of dance are jazz and social dance. He hopes to be dancing in both musicals and dance showcases for as long as he can. His highest aspiration is to make people happy. Toby hopes this showcase has a positive effect on its audience.

✨Serena Chin✨
Serena Chin (she/they) is a second year dance major at College of San Mateo. Serena took her first dance class when she was 5 years old at Westlake School for the Performing Arts in Daly City, CA. She trained classically and competitively for 12 years in ballet, tap, contemporary, and polynesian, but has also done modern, lyrical, and jazz for around 2 years. In their senior year in high school, she joined the school’s hip hop team adding hip hop to her list of dance types. During quarantine, Serena started learning Kpop choreographies and joined a Kpop dance group, Kpop-Up, in San Francisco for a year and a half. In Spring 2022, she joined a contemporary company, NewGround Theatre Dance Company, with Artistic Director Coleen Lorenz. Out of all the dances they’ve trained in, contemporary is definitely her favorite. To be a part of CSM Dance means being in an environment that’s positively challenging as she learns how to lead, choreograph, and bond with her fellow classmates. Serena currently hopes to get accepted into California Institute of the Arts or USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance in Fall 2024 to continue her career as a dancer and choreographer.
