The Company

Claire Adcox (she/her): Claire has been with the adult company for three years now. She trained competitively in Dickson County until she found FMG through a friend who invited her to see Found Youth’s show Pink & Blue. She immediately was intrigued and decided to get back into dance training because of the performance. She trained for a year in Found Youth under Rachelle Peace and Brittany Koken before auditioning for Found Movement Group the following year. She has also trained and studied under Stacie Flood-Popp and Abra Myles through the Toolbox Choreographic Program that teaches fundamentals of choreography and other tools for setting and creating works of choreo. Claire also teaches contemporary style classes at Millenium Dance Complex Nashville. In her free time, she enjoys playing piano.

We are so fortunate that Claire found her home with us at Found. Her movement style is uniquely hers and she is able to bring that to her work with the company. Always one to remember and retain choreography she is a wonderfully easy member to work with and makes creating work so fun and breezy! Claire has grown so much both as a dancer and a person through these three years she has been with us and we can’t wait to keep creating on and with her.

Kane Dayton (he/him). Kane Dayton is a new face to the Nashville area, having trained in Lexington, Kentucky, where he received a B.A. in Theatre and a Certificate of Global Studies. As a choreographer and dancer, Kane likes to promote individuality and break down social norms. He teaches K-Pop dance workshops across the globe and brings his fierce attitude to teaching and dancing. He has trained at 1MILLION Dance Studio and PREPIX Dance Studio both in Seoul, South Korea as well as Millennium Dance Complex Nashville. What attracted Kane to Found was it’s innovative use of storytelling and immersive experiences. Kane is also a theatre artist and has performed in a variety of roles from Disney classics to ten-minute plays, including performing as Dragon in Shrek the Musical, Genie in Aladdin, and Recorded Voice in 1-900-DESPERATE.

Kane joined Found earlier this year right as the pandemic hit and his slated role in Obsession was unfortunately set aside for the duration of the Quarantine. We are so excited to begin working with Kane in a broader capacity and welcome him into the Found family!

Kelly Etheridge (she/her): Born and raised in Nashville, Kelly began dancing at the age of three. She studied a broad range of styles including Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Modern and Hip Hop until she was eighteen. After dancing competitively throughout high school she went on to tour as a performer for Radio Disney, and then continued to pursue other commercial dance work while teaching at local studios. She is currently in her fifth season of Found Movement Group, and has been featured in performances such as "For Them, For Us, Four Me's, For You", "The Way I See It", and "Obsession". Along with dance, her passions include fashion styling, crafting and cooking.

Kelly has been such a great addition to the company these past five years! We always look to her for help in styling our conceptualized photoshoots and other costuming needs as she has extensive knowledge in fashion merchandising. Kelly is always willing to help take on other roles to help support the company endeavors and make sure that our brand is aesthetically on point and we greatly appreciate that! We look forward to creating and working more with Kelly in the coming year and hope you all can catch her in our newest event LOST NASHVILLE! IG: @kelly_etheridge

Caiden Fioravanti (she/her): Caiden has been training in dance for the past 17 years primarily through studio life and the competition scene. Caiden first encountered Found when she applied to be a dancer for our choreographic intensive The Rippleffect. When entering the professional world of dance, she went straight to Found Movement Group to audition for their immersive show Obsession. When Caiden is not dancing she is a compounder/partial owner of a CBD company Ology Essentials, or flipping houses with her family business Hygge Nashville. Check out Ology Essentials and her family’s other businesses through the link in our bio.

We have loved having Caiden in the Found family! She has been a great addition not only because of her skill and professionalism both in the studio and outside of it, but also her willingness to jump in whenever and wherever needed. She is definitely a gem and we can’t wait to create more with her in the next few years! IG: @caidenf

Brandon Johnson (He/Him/B. Sexy). Brandon A. Johnson aims to live the quote: "Entertain, Educate, and Elevate." As a professional dancer and choreographer, Brandon has performed on television, in commercials, live theatre, theme parks, music videos and film. He has performed and worked in European productions as well as locally as a principle company member of Found Movement Group. He discovered FMG in 2008 after seeing a production of “I Saw You Tomorrow” and immediately decided to audition for the company in 2009 and soon discovered what it meant to be “found through dance and performing.” Brandon’s various credits include Macbeth, Jitney (American Negro Playwright Theatre), Fame, Hairspay (Circle Players Theatre), A Chorus Line, Chicago, The All Night Strut, Legally Blonde (Keeton Theatre), The Bobby Jones Gospel Show (BET), The Dove Awards (GMT), A Country Christmas (ABC), Nashville (CMT), Real Country (USA Network), The Identical, and with recording artists Jake Owens, Eric Pasalay, LeAnn Rimes, TRIN-I-TEE 57 and Mandisa. Brandon also teaches and volunteers with performance programs at Vanderbilt University, Tennessee State University, and Metro Nashville Public Schools.

We love having Brandon in the Found Fam. Although notorious for bringing his purple juice to Found gatherings and creating nights we can’t remember but also can’t forget, Brandon has been a steady company member over the past ten years. With his theatrical background and our latest shows being more theatrically heavy, having him back these past two seasons has been great! We are so excited to see how he develops with the company this next year.

Kat Kolp (she/her): Kat Kolp has been a Found company member since 2013 when the company performed the reprise of “In This House.” She earned her BFA in Dance from Florida State University in 2012.

Kat has been such an integral part of the company these past years and we’re not sure where we would be without her fun-loving, hard-working, and magnetic spirit. Both professional and playful, Kat’s multi-faceted personalities always keep us laughing, smiling, but also getting shit done. Her devotion to the company is truly appreciated and we are so thankful to continue to work with her mind, body, & spirit.

Chloe Oliver: (she/her) Chloe’s involvement with dance is rooted in powering up the connection between mind and body. Having taken a few years of studio dance, she tried out for the high school dance team and dove headfirst into the high kick and jazz dance community in Minnesota. She danced competitively throughout high school, after which she retired her competitive dance days to coach high school dance for six years while also following her heart’s calling to teach yoga. She opened yoga studios across the country. Chloe moved to Nashville to open a yoga studio and was looking for a way to expand her community in a creative environment. She found Found via Stacie and their shared interest in yoga and dance. In Chloe’s first season with us, she performed in Stacie’s premiere of ‘for them, 4 us, four me’s, for u.’ She moved to DC for a year to open another yoga studio but felt her love of the FMG community, even from 500+ miles away, calling her back. She has since moved back and reclaimed her position with Found, balancing her love of creative outlets including dance, singing, hiking, and yoga.

We are so happy to have her back moving with us! We are inspired by her tenacity, her free-spirit, and her empathy for others. Chloe just completed her second project with us We Keep on Going and we are so excited to continue to grow and move together with her. Check out her yoga classes at Fahrenheit Yoga Studio if you’re in need to center the body and the mind through movement.
