Clarksville High Graduate Was On NBC Dancin’ With Myself

Her name is Caitlyn Knowles and she represented not only Clarksville but the whole state of Tennessee with her performance the Tuesday evening on Dancin’ With Myself.

Caitlyn is 17 years old and just graduated high school this past week but that wasn’t the only big thing happening in her life.  She just recently came back from California where she was featured on the first episode of Dancin With Myself.  Caitlyn did very well and even seemed to be a crowd favorite.  She made it pretty far in the show but unfortunately she did not win the grand prize of $25,000.

Caitlyn got picked for the show randomly because of her TikTok dance moves.  NBC saw her stuff and wanted her to be apart of the show, so they reached out to have her on. Now, Caitlyn didn’t just start dancing yesterday, she’s been dancing since she was 4. She currently has over 163k followers on TikTok.

Dancin’ With Myself was inspired by people like Caitlyn who love to dance and show their stuff on social media, according to Clarksville Now.  The celebrity judges for the show are Shakira, Nick Jonas and Liza Koshy.

We had the pleasure of not only talking with Caitlyn but she also tried to teach Mandi and I one of the dances she had to perform on the show.
