Meet Caitlin

Caitlin Rodriguez, the first European Show Dance Champion from Gibraltar, brings a wealth of international experience and passion to her new dance school. Her dance career began at the age of 13 when she was scouted by Lupien from The Next Step, leading her to move to Canada and train at the prestigious Canadian Dance Company. Over three years, she honed her skills across multiple dance styles, including jazz, contemporary, lyrical, tap, hip hop, ballroom, and acrobatics.

During her time in Canada, Caitlin competed at major U.S. dance competitions, including earning a spot as a finalist at, one of the most competitive platforms for young dancers - The Dance Awards. Her exceptional talent and dedication led to her acceptance into the Mather Dance Company – Bridge to the Industry program, where she gained invaluable experience working with cameras, building a professional portfolio, and mastering the art of interviews and headshots. She was also selected for the Mather Dance Company Competition Team, further solidifying her place among elite dancers.

Living in Los Angeles for one year, Caitlin trained under world-renowned choreographers, gaining unique insights into the professional dance world—an experience she is now excited to bring to Gibraltar. Since returning home, she has already made a mark by helping choreograph pieces that have achieved success on the world stage.

With a mission to inspire the next generation of dancers, TDC Marbella offers world-class training, a supportive environment, and the opportunity to learn from someone who has experienced the global dance industry firsthand. Whether students dream of competing internationally or dancing for fun, her vision is to provide a space where every dancer can thrive, grow, and believe in their potential.
