Dancer, Actor, Choreographer
Meet
Carey!
As a toddler, Carey's parents took her to see the touring production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. She noticed young children in the cast and NEEDED to be part of the show. After throwing a tantrum (as 2-year-olds do) wanting to be on stage, Carey's mom cleverly replied, "diapers won't fit under the costume"... A week later Carey was potty trained. This anecdote is an example of the determination, passion, and love for the arts that has been rooted in Carey her whole life.
Growing up in Memphis, TN, Carey trained to be a versatile dancer, splitting her time between a competition studio and ballet school. In high school, she was awarded scholarships to attend summer programs in NYC & LA, as well as assisted at dance conventions around the country. Carey attended The University of Arizona, graduating with a BFA in Dance and minor in Film & TV.
Carey started her professional career performing in Spectra's Cabaret with Royal Caribbean. Next she followed her dreams of moving to New York City, where she's had the honor of training with and assisting the industries top choreographers. She has also added singing and acting to her skillset. Carey's career spans from Film to TV to Theater. Job highlights include: Amazon's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Elf the Musical National Tour, Nickelodeon, NBC Upfronts, Tuacahn Center for the Arts, Broadway Bares, and the documentary Sidelined.
