Denise Caston has been a Radio City Rockette since 1997 and toured nationally with the Tony Award winning musical, Crazy For You. Denise has also had the honor of performing the choreography of Savion Glover at a showcase in New York City. She performed on tour in Australia in 2002, dancing all over the continent in Elvis to the Max.

Teaching credits include classes at Broadway Dance Center and Steps on Broadway, two of the largest dance studios in the country, as well as The Rockette Experience© at Radio City Music Hall.  Her choreography has been seen in many productions in which she also performed at Casino Windsor in Ontario, Canada. The winner of the talent portion of the Miss Michigan Pageant in 2002 performed Ms. Caston's choreography, as did the runner-up to Jr. Mr. Dance of America (Dance Masters of America) in 2000, along with other local and national scholarship competition winners.

Denise grew up dancing in the metropolitan Detroit area, where she had a role in coordinating the Detroit Tap Festival and got to study with luminaries such as Dianne Walker, Robert Reed, Van Porter, LaVaughn Robinson, Lane Alexander, Cholly Atkins, and many more. She was also the Project Manager for Tradition In Tap, Inc., an organization dedicated to preserving the history of tap dance through semi-annual workshops in New York City.  Students attend from all over the world to learn original choreography from the masters themselves or their protégés.
