Kiki Rodriguez is a Jersey-born artist and creative. Surrounded by music and dance through her Puerto Rican roots, she began her early training in recreational ballet and jazz, while also performing in cheerleading and hip-hop crews. She began doing community theatre and working professionally at 13, training under Broadway veteran Michael Blevins. Through this early mentorship, she gained a strong foundation in Golden Age musicals, Fosse technique, tap, and a deep understanding of storytelling onstage—not only as a performer, but across all facets of theatre, including assisting directors and choreographers, swinging, dance captain responsibilities, and performing both principal and ensemble roles.

 

She continued her training at a performing arts high school with an intensive concert dance curriculum, further developing her craft in New York City and New Jersey through studies in acting, voice, and multiple dance styles. She gained representation at 17. Kiki went on to earn a BFA in Dance with a Minor in Musical Theatre from Montclair State University. She later became a company member of Camille A. Brown & Dancers.

 

Her professional credits include NBC’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, NBC’s Telemundo Upfronts, Univision Upfronts, Amazon Prime’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Paramount’s Blue’s Big City Adventure. She has performed with artists including Sebastián Yatra and J Balvin, and has participated in developmental processes for Broadway and New York City Center Encores! productions such as Urinetown, Oliver!, Into the Woods, and Once Upon a Mattress.
