Karlee is a fairly new #Laner on our NYC team. She joined the Lane August 2016 and has quickly become one of our favorites! Her positive attitude and energy make her a perfect fit for the Lane. She recently completed a 5 month activation and became close with several of the Laners.
Karlee was raised as a musical theatre kid. She's been in the business for 10 years now. For the past 3 years she has been directing a competition dance company in South Carolina. She finally decided to move back to New York to pursue her dreams. It was difficult for Karlee to leave her students and her family but it has been the best decision for her career. Karlee is now preforming with Aladdin's first National Tour!
When Karlee's not working on the Lane or out performing you can find her working out, playing video games, drinking coffee, reading, watching nerdy movies, cooking with the beau, going on adventures, and just having fun with whatever she's doing!

Most embarrassing moment
Auditioning for Dance scholarships when i was about 13 and It was down to the last award. Female Dancer of the weekend. I thought they called my number and hopped up on stage to dance again. YAY! Looking around, I counted an extra body on stage.......it was me. I had to slink away before anyone noticed i wasn't suppose to be there. Embarrassing. Everyone noticed, yet no one said a thing. LOL!
Best thing that happened to you this week
My boyfriend got me the best present ever! He made a Long Distance Survival Chest for me. Since I'm away on tour he individually wrapped about 8 different things and labeled each one with a cute little phrase. Everything I would need to get through the days when we couldn't be together! It was the most thoughtful gift I've ever received and the biggest reminder of how amazing and special he is!
