BIOGRAPHY
Kai Davis trained at The Ruth Page School of Dance under the late and great Larry Long in her hometown of Chicago, IL. She also studied at The Lou Conte School of Dance (home to Hubbard Street) along with full summer scholarships to The Rock School of Pennsylvania Ballet and The Joffrey Ballet.
Kai’s professional career began in 1996 with The Boston Ballet. During her five seasons there she performed corps and soloist roles in many of the Vaganova classics including Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Don Quixote, Giselle, and La Bayadere. Kai also worked with Ballet San Jose for two seasons where she performed soloist roles in Balanchine classics including Polyhemnia in Apollo and the jumping girl in Who Cares.
She then spent six years performing with Ballet British Columbia in contemporary pieces by James Kudelka, William Forsythe, Nacho Duato, and helping out in the creative process for new works by the Artistic Director, at that time, John Alleyne.
After retiring from the stage in 2010, Kai moved to San Francisco to teach for the Alonzo King Lines Ballet Training Program. Along with the LBTP, during her 10 years in the Bay Area, she also taught ballet and pointe technique for the BFA Dance Program at The Dominican University of Marin, for the Advanced Ballet Program for Ruth Asawa School of the Arts, and company class for both Smuin SF Ballet & Oakland Ballet.
Kai now resides in Montclair, New Jersey where she is adjunct faculty for the dance program at Montclair State University and ballet instructor for the certified program at Peridance in New York.
