Caitlyn Prestidge

Caitlyn Prestidge is a choreographer, movement director, and multidisciplinary movement artist whose work spans film, television, commercial, and live performance. Passionate about cinematic storytelling, she creates movement that deepens narrative, reveals character, and elevates the emotional language of the camera.

Her choreography and movement direction credits include projects with Apple TV, Prime Video, Upper Canada Films, Sportsnet, Hallowed Grounds Productions, Ted Roger’s Pride Alliance, and Toronto Metropolitan University along with commercial and performance credits with Comcast, Bell Canada, Pique Global, and CBC. Several of her recent short films are currently under consideration by international film festivals, reflecting the growing recognition of her work within independent cinema.

With experience as a producer, actress, and professional dancer, Caitlyn brings a collaborative, production-minded perspective to every project. She understands the creative process from multiple angles and works seamlessly alongside directors, cinematographers, and performers to create movement that serves both the story and the camera.

Known for translating emotion into authentic physical language, Caitlyn develops choreography that is cinematic, intentional, and character-driven. Whether crafting large-scale dance sequences, designing subtle movement vocabulary, or coaching actors with little to no dance experience, she prioritizes storytelling above spectacle – creating movement that feels honest, purposeful, and visually compelling.

As the Founder and Artistic Director of The Dance Progressive, Caitlyn has spent years mentoring artists while continuing to refine her own creative voice. Her extensive background in dance, movement education, anatomy, and performance informs a choreographic process that is both artistically expressive and technically grounded.

A lifelong student of movement and film, Caitlyn is continually exploring the intersection of choreography, performance, and cinematic storytelling. She is driven by collaboration and believes the most impactful movement is that which leaves a lasting emotional impression – long after the frame fades to black.
