ABOUT KAILEY
Kailey Fraer is a student, creator, performer, and teacher from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 2025, she graduated from Slippery Rock University with a BFA in Dance. While studying at SRU, she had the opportunity to work closely with faculty, fellow students, and guest choreographers. Within her time as a student, she was cast in Teena Marie Custer’s The Shade, Cameron McKinney’s Strange Attractor, Nathan Trice’s Their Speech is Silver, Their Silence is Gold, and Martha Graham’s Steps in the Street set by Elizabeth Auclaire. Kailey had the privilege of performing at the Joyce Theater as part of the University Partners Showcase in 2023. Her intensive education includes Orsolina28, Dance Italia, and Springboard X. Currently, Kailey is a Company Member with The Movement Project(TMP), a Cleveland-based modern/contemporary dance company. With the company Kailey performs, choreographs, teaches, aids in community outreach, and manages the social media. An important factor in Kailey's dance career is that she is also a yoga teacher. After earning her RYT-200, Kailey began teaching class to the community. She believes that yoga and dance are deeply intertwined and inform her movement. Kailey also enjoys crocheting, reading, hiking, and being a cat mom - all outlets that nurture her creativity.
ARTISTIC STATEMENT
I have always felt that dance was just as much a part of me as breathing. I cannot remember a time I was not a dancing or a day where I did not think about how I would dance next. When I watch dance I feel so alive, and when I dance I feel so free. I never want to live in a world where I do not have movement. It makes me a better person, and for that I am forever indebted to this art form.
DANCE TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
As an educator I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for my students. My main goal is to facilitate a class that promotes student growth and joy. I believe that students are responsible for their own learning and development. Throughout class I encourage students to find individuality and take risks. When teaching I use imagery and rhythmic patterns to help the students connect to the movement. As a teacher I believe I have just as much to learn from my students as they do from me. I know that dance educators do not only teach technique, but they teach life skills. I want my students to not only grow as artists but as humans.
