Casey Seib
Casey’s passion for dance and performance has seen her become a versatile, highly knowledgeable artist. From a young age, Casey trained across a range of commercial, classical and contemporary styles and completed a number of formal dance examinations; most notably receiving a Distinction for her RAD Advanced 1 exam. As a young performer, a highlight of her competitive career was placing first overall in the Pro/Am division at Showcase Australian Dance Championships Nationals. During this time, Casey’s success also extended to her academic performance, where she ranked first in Dance for four consecutive years and received a Callback nomination for HSC Dance Major Performance.
Casey committed to full time training at Ev & Bow in 2021 and 2022 to further extend her performance capabilities and experience. Working with a diverse faculty of quality artists allowed Casey to become the versatile performer that she is today; equipped with an understanding of what it means to be a working professional in the performing arts industry. Here, she was given the exciting opportunity to dance at the launch of PENELOPE’s single BiConic.
Casey is not only an accomplished performer, but also a highly skilled educator. 2020 saw her complete a Bachelor of Dance Education at the Australian College of Physical Education (ACPE), which provided her with the essential knowledge and skills required to pass on her passion for dance to the next generation. During her time at ACPE, Casey also competed both regionally and interstate with the university’s award-winning cheer and dance teams; an experience which exposed her to the exciting world of cheerleading and pom. Casey considers her time at university to have been invaluable to her development as both an artist and educator.
Today, Casey enjoys teaching Dance and PDHPE within a high school context; where her role includes preparing Stage 6 Dance students for their HSC examinations. Outside of this, she is equally committed to facilitating the growth of young dance students and loves working with studios to develop strong, passionate and technically proficient dancers. You can also catch Casey performing as a cheerleader for the NRL Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs!
Casey is beyond excited to be a part of the Vivid family and adores working alongside the team to help our dancers achieve their goals.
