Originally from Anoka, Minnesota, Hailey Barrows began her training at an arts-focused school and quickly fell in love with the stage through years of competitive dance. Hailey has a solid background in various dance styles and has consistently been captivated by the impactful nature of movement and the artistry of choreography. During high school, Hailey served as dance team captain, specializing in jazz and kick. Her journey continued as a performer with Crash Dance Productions, a contemporary-modern company based in Minneapolis. She took the stage in productions such as 24 Palms, where she explored the emotional depth and artistic storytelling that contemporary dance offers. Now pursuing a formal degree in education and dance at Grand Canyon University, Hailey is dedicated to expanding her technique, versatility, and artistry. Her approach to teaching blends technique-focused training with an encouraging and inclusive classroom environment. Hailey is thrilled to be a part of Kat’s Artist Tree and cannot wait to dance with you this season.
