The Company
We are the overlooked because of shape, size, race, gender, education (or lack there of), having too much of one style but wanting to train in another, not having enough training, and the list goes on. We are the lost who have found each other.
Kelly
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
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

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
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. Upon graduating she continued her studies of contemporary dance under Executive Director Stacie Flood-Popp. She has had numerous leading roles in multiple FMG performances including “Gradient”, “For Them, For Us, Four Me’s, For you”, and Found’s most recent commercial work “Obsession.” Currently she is pursuing her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at TSU and looks forward to combining her two passions: dance and the human body.

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.

We have been so fortunate to work, collaborate, move, & create with Getfone for these past 6 years. Her movement quality is like no other, her heart is pure and true while her commitment to the company has been so helpful in creating a strong foundation of the corps company members we have today. We can’t wait to see what she does in the audio engineering world & how she blends her passions for movement and sound together. IG: @getfoneee
