Caroline Lewis-Jones from South Carolina, has been dancing for over 35 years. She is a mom of two little boys, married to her Hance, and is a certified Holistic Health Coach through IIN. She trained at The Southern Strutt under her mentor, Nancy Giles. At the age of 18 she moved to New York City where she performed for six years. Her credits include the VMA’s with NSYNC, the Latin Grammy Awards, many commercials, Disney Industrials, Britney Spears and Madonna “Me Against the Music” video, MTV’s Body Rock Fitness Video, and more. Although successful as a commercial dancer, her true passion lies within contemporary company work, where she had the opportunity to work for Mia Michaels Company R.A.W, Dee Caspary’s IV Dance Company, Notario Dance Company, Rhapsody and Company, A.S.H Contemporary, and Justin Giles’ Soul Escape. In 2001 she traveled to Seoul, Korea where she performed for Jason Parson’s and POZ Dance Theatre. In July 2010, Caroline performed with Sonya Tayeh from “So You Think You Can Dance” with her company in Chicago. She also choreographs for studios around the country, and teaches for Adrenaline Dance Convention and The Dance Sessions. In December 2007, Caroline choreographed and performed a one-woman show, called Finding My Way. It was about the loss of her mother and her life currently without her. It is her greatest accomplishment yet. Caroline also founded Unbound Dance Company in 2008 with Susan Dabney Hancock in Columbia, South Carolina. Her goal as Artistic Director of UNBOUND is to inspire and give dancers young and old, a new outlet to perform. She wants to build Unbound and continue to inspire all forms of dance in Columbia. Caroline also has a deep passion for inspiring healthy living and disease prevention. 15 years ago she joined a community called Health Made Simple and partnered with a company called Juice Plus. Her mission in life is to encourage and inspire healthy living around the world. Her motto is if you don’t take care of your body, where are you going to live? |
