Whitley Locks was born and raised in Northern California. She started dancing at the age of 9 primarily focusing on Ballet, Jazz, and Contemporary. She moved to NYC to attend Marymount Manhattan College as a BFA Dance Major with a concentration in Modern Dance. After graduation, she discovered her true passion was in storytelling, and that lead her to channel her training into Musical Theatre. She has always been inspired by musicals, and finally allowed herself to go after it! In addition to being a dancer, she is also a NASM-certified Personal Trainer. She started teaching fitness as a way to cross-train for dance but then fell in love with helping people get strong through movement. She loves being able to empower people to be their best selves. When she is not on the stage or sweating it out, Whitley loves to travel and experience new things.
