Caitlyn Cargnoni

Caitlyn Cargnoni is a Chicago-based dance artist originally from San Jose, California. She graduated from the University of California-Irvine in 2024 with her BFA in Dance Performance and BS in Earth System Science. While at UCI, she had the pleasure of studying under Lar Lubovitch, Katarzyna Skarpetowska, Charlotte Griffin, Tong Wang, Cyrian Reed, and Vitor Luiz.

In 2025 Caitlyn joined Visceral Dance Chicago as a trainee under the guidance of Cait Cucchiara and Nick Pupillo, performing works by Pupillo, Megan Rhodes, and company members Justin Bisnauthsing and Aden Hurst. She has spent recent summers dancing at NW Dance Project, Backhausdance, and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, where she had the pleasure of dancing for Jacqueline Burnett, Maleek Washington, and Ching Ching Wong.

Caitlyn currently trains and creates at Chicago Movement Collective under the leadership of Ethan Kirschbaum, and is thrilled to be dancing with Alluvion for their twelfth season. She maintains a deep passion for the sciences as well as the arts, and hopes to find ways to delve deeper into both, exploring their intrinsic entanglement.
