Annalise Caico

Annalise Caico joined RAD in 2025. Annalise started dance at the age of 9 and it quickly became a strong passion. She trained and competed in several styles of dance, including ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap, hip-hop, and modern.

She continued her dance education with a scholarship to Point Park University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, majoring in dance performance with a concentration in modern. Her time at Point Park implemented rigorous training in classical modern, ballet, and jazz styles, before she returned to her hometown to take a gap year.

During her time off of dance she grew to learn just how impactful and important a creative outlet is and her passion for dance became clearer than ever before. Her goals moving forward are to inspire young dancers to view dance as a pure form of artistic expression, to instill a passion for creative movement, and to encourage them to view themselves as unique individual artists.
