 Miss Kacie’s love for ballet begin at just two years old. At seven years old she joined the Dance Conservatory of Orlando’s competitive team, in which she competed for nine years. She spent her time on the competition team under the training and mentorship of one of The Royal’s past students, Lisa Hendrickson. At seven she took on training in classical ballet as well as tap, jazz, modern, lyrical and musical theater, attending conventions and competitions at the national level in addition to performing for the Orlando Magic and Disney. At 12 she became a student assistant at DCO, sparking a passion for teaching, and continued assisting until she became a teacher with Impact on the Road, at the age of 16. Her high school years were spent continuing under private instructors, culminating in a dance education from the Santa Fe College in Gainesville, Florida, under the influences of Alora Haynes, Alberto Alonso, Sonya Alonso, Kristen Thigpen and many more. Her recent experience has revolved around choreographing, teaching and subbing in the greater Orlando area, running an after-school city program for children’s dance and drama classes for 3 local cities, and is now excited to share her love for dance with her students at Longwood Dance Academy.

 Although she started dancing off and on at a young age, Miss Enileyse's passion for the performing arts truly sparked a career interest for her when she was accepted onto the Lyman High School Dance Team in 2019! She spent 4 years competing with this amazing team under the leadership of Kayla Weston among other instructors. Enileyse has spent the last 5 years studying Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, and Hip Hop all while teaching dance in the greater Central Florida area. Miss Enileyse is now an instructor for the same team that started her love for performing and teaching dance as well as working for Longwood Dance Academy as one of their Dance Teachers and Performance Coaches.
