Behind the Artist

---

Hailey Rose Kasky started performing at the age of three and has loved it ever since. A third generation dancer and the daughter/granddaughter of studio owners, performing is in her blood. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, she trained in acting, voice, multiple styles of dance, and has over fifteen + years of performance experience. 

Hailey graduated from Point Park University in the spring of '24, where she received her B.F.A in Dance with a concentration in Jazz and a minor in Musical Theatre. Throughout her time in school, Hailey performed in dance works choreographed by Bob Fosse, Norbert De La Cruz III, Maud Arnold, Kiki Lucas, Kiesha Lalama, and Justin Myles, as well as performing in and understudying a production of "Newsies" directed and choreographed by Danny Herman and Rocker Verastique.

Currently, Hailey is performing at Tuachan Amphitheatre, where she is in three productions: "Newsies" (Jojo), "The Wizard of Oz" (Ensemble), and "The Little Mermaid" (Swing). Before that, she was a dancer at Cedar Point, where she has performed in four shows on Celebration Stage and been Show/Dance Captain for two. She has also performed in productions of "Grease", "Spring Awakening", "Jesus Christ Superstar" and many more, where she was able to hold both leading role and dance captain positions. She has also explored dance on film, where she performed pieces like Scared and I Told You with Hybrid Media Productions. 

Hailey's other major passion is creating, as she most recently choreographed the first MTI productions of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” and “Alice by Heart”, and created her original concert dance piece “Requiem” last fall. She also has a deep passion for teaching, as growing up a studio rat taught her, and spent a summer touring with Missoula Children’s Theatre, where she brought the art of theatre to kids around the country.

When she's not on the stage or in the studio teaching, Hailey loves spending time with her triplet sisters, reading a good book, drawing, playing the piano, and visiting cute coffee shops around the world on the hunt for the best latte.
