Carolyn Simpson

Carolyn Simpson started dancing at the age of three and it soon became a large part of her life. In middle school she realized that she needed more technique and transferred to Susan Chambers School of Theatre Dance. She became a member of the company, first as an apprentice and then senior dancer, and had a blast performing and competing with SCDC.

After graduating high school, Carolyn moved to Athens and attended the University of Georgia on the HOPE Scholarship. She graduated in 2002 magna cum laude with a B.S. in Dance Education. While at UGA she was very involved with the dance program performing with the UGA Ballet Ensemble and the UGA Ballroom Performance Group.

In 2002 she moved to Houson, TX where she performed with Ad Deum Dance Company and taught ballet, tap, jazz, and ballroom at Boni’s School of Dance. After two years she realized she missed singing and dancing and traveling and hit the road. Carolyn performed and taught on Holland America Cruise Lines in Alaska, Mexico, South America, and Antarctica.

She also moved to New York City where she had the chance to take classes with the top teachers in the world while traveling to regional theatres to perform and teach. Carolyn’s favorite performing role is that of Radio City Rockette. She first joined the Rockettes in Detroit in 2005 and has since had the chance to travel with them to Chicago, Boston, Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale, and St. Louis. Last year she also had to opportunity for the promotion to swing.

After traveling for 7 years, Carolyn has realized she’s ready to plant some roots and get back to her loves…family, the South, and teaching dance. She’s excited to be returning to Susan Chambers' as a teacher this time around and share her love with others.
