Katie has been dancing since the age of 3 and has been a member of the Dance Place since she was 8. She's taken and loves all styles of dance, but especially theatrical jazz/contemporary. This led her to a theatre major in college, where she performed in and choreographed many musicals.

Katie started teaching at the studio following graduation from Westfield State. She has continued to perform and choreograph for various groups around MA, such as Radio Disney, Big Smile Entertainment, TD Bank, middle/high school theatre, and local community theatre. While teaching at TDPS, Katie loves sharing her passion for movement as a fitness instructor. 

Katie went on to earn a Master's Degree in Dance and Movement Therapy from Lesley University. As a Dance and Movement Therapist, she is looking forward to using the healing power of dance to help others!
