Colleen Hendricks, a native of Sonoma County, CA., began dancing at 4 years old training in various styles. At 14, Hendricks joined the pre professional modern company Surge Dance and fell in love with dancing. She moved to Southern California in 2014 to obtain her BFA in Dance at California State University, Long Beach and was a two time recipient of the Fine Arts Affiliates Scholarship.
Upon graduating, Hendricks has collaborated and danced for Los Angeles Contemporary Dance Company, Jacob Jonas The Company, Acts of Matter & Keith Johnson and Dancers. She is represented by Go2Talent Agency with commercial credits such as The Marias and Kali Uchis. She is currently a faculty member and Artistic Director of a pre professional dance Company Off The Floor in Signal Hill, CA. She has also previously taught in the Commercial Dance Department at The Orange County School of The Arts. During her 4 years there, she discovered her passion for teaching dance in the education system.
Her goal is to help kids develop a strong work ethic, technical prowess and artistry. She is very excited to expand her teaching at New West Charter as the High School Dance Teacher.
