Calgary born, Toronto based artist Caroline 'Lady C' Fraser started her journey at a young age.
Coming from a long lineage of musicians, dancers and entertainers, she came by her life as an artist honestly and organically.
She got her start in performance and entertainment through dance which eventually led her to a career as a professional dance artist under the pseudonym ‘Lady C’ which she built a worldwide successful reputation.
As a dancer her main focus is in Street Dance culture, and although she has made her mark in this global community her training includes a background in Ballet, Contemporary, Tap Dance and most recently extends into Jazz Dance forms with Holla Jazz Dance Company.
Lady C began her dance journey at age 3, studying mostly in studio atmospheres and learning a lot of her skill set from her mother and sister.
She discovered the Street Dance community in her late teens and began studying under many of the pioneers and legends of Popping, Locking, House and Hip Hop such as Popin Pete, Sugapop, Caleaf Sellers and Link to name a few. She felt an instant and deep connection to these dance forms and continued to pursue them further by participating in the culture through battling, performing and exchanging in these communities.
This exploration led her to a professional career in dance and brought her many opportunities and accolades...
In 2012 she became a member of Soul Shifters Crew (USA) and a few years later also became a member of Symbiotic Monsters Crew (CAN).
Lady C has performed with Ebnfloh Dance Company (Montreal), Holla Jazz Dance Company (Toronto) and choreographed her own work including a live music & dance collaborative work titled ‘Conversation’ which premiered with rave reviews at Toronto Sony Centre for the Performing Arts. She holds titles from renowned events such as Red Bull Dance Your Style Canada 2019, Juste Debout North America 2019 and was the recipient of 2 Dora Mavor Moore Awards as well as Canadian Dancer of the Year.
Recently in 2022 Lady C was invited to judge the Locking category at one of the largest Street Dance events in the world Summer Dance Forever, and was also the Popping champion of Jack Of All Trades Festival.
