Originally from Houston, TX, Kalli began her dance training at a young age at a multitude of studios and from there developed a love for all styles of dance. She began her collegiate career at Boston Conservatory at Berklee where she worked with choreographers Junichi Fukuda and Darrell Grand Moultrie. Finishing her B.F.A in dance at Sam Houston State University in 2021, she performed work of choreographers Andy and Dionne Noble, Donald Shorter, Gabrielle Lamb, and Joshua Manculich. Kalli is grateful to have apprenticed with NobleMotion Dance starting in 2019 and later becoming a full company member, developing her artistry and love for the choreographic process. She later joined DanceWorks Chicago in 2021 where she had the opportunity to work and learn repertoire by Mark Caserta, Robert Battle, Drew Lewis, Hanna Brictson, Charissa-Lee Barton, Demis Volpi, and Rubén Graciani.
Kalli is now a freelance dance artist working with companies such as Boykin Dance Project, Niko8,and Moonwater Dance Project.
