FACULTY

Charlotte Kavanagh had an immediate connection to the performing arts. She began her dance training as a child in the Canadian beach town of White Rock, BC, training in ballet, jazz, hip hop, modern, contemporary and tap at Spiral Dance Co. As a teen she moved into the professional modeling world. Charlotte’s stunning Scandinavian background and unique look resulted in opportunity all over North America and Asia, and helped cultivate the work ethic needed to thrive in the professional entertainment world.
After graduation, Charlotte was determined to make it as a professional dancer, and did so by training in Harbour Dance Centre’s pre-professional Intensive Training Program (ITP). From there she was scouted by a talent agency and her career began. Working as a professional dancer during Vancouver’s Hollywood boom led to many exciting dance credits such as Descendants 2 (Disney), Zoeys Extraordinary Playlist (NBC), and multiple musical episodes on Riverdale (CW), with world class choreographers Tony Testa, Mandy Moore and Heather Laura Gray. Charlotte also enjoyed taking her talents to stage, performing in The Smoke Show, a wildly entertaining dance cabaret directed by Jen Oleksiuk.
Charlotte’s first acting class matched the feeling she had as a kid in dance- the pull, the curiosity, the drive. She never looked back. She began training with Vancouver’s esteemed coaches (Deb Podowski, Jeb Beach, Nelson Wong) and also put her natural singing talents to work in private coaching, and by challenging herself to release videos singing live and playing guitar to her social media accounts.
As an actress, Charlotte has had great success in the commercial industry appearing in international spots for Porsche, Hyundai, SweeTARTS, Jarred Jewelry, Gillette, and many other recognizable brands. She made her television acting debut in Once Upon A Time (ABC), followed by guest spots in DC’s Legends of Tomorrow (CW), The Twilight Zone (CBS All Access), and the feature The Right One, directed by Ken Mok. Most recently Charlotte appeared as a Recurring Guest Star in the highly anticipated musical series Grease: Rise of The Pink Ladies as Rosemary on Paramount+
While filming Charlotte had to step away from teaching due to her busy schedule but is more than thrilled to return to Spiral and jump into the 23/24 season.
