Kaytlan Ann
Dancer-Instructor- Assistant Choreographer
Kaytlan was born and raised in NJ and is currently a UB alum. She has a talent for entertaining others through dance and song and can turn any frown upside down. Dancing is more than just body movements for Kaytlan. It is an expression of embracing herself & her roots all while sharing her energy and joy with everyone around her. There are no right or wrong moves, and that’s what Kaytlan loves about dancing! One of the best things that she loves about Amor & Heritage is having the opportunity to learn about the different communities that surround her and serving as a diversity advocate for people of all ages. Kaytlan is making her mark in the community by teaching the importance of cultural awareness and reminding those that everyone matters despite where they come from. 😊
Dancing Joy!
