Dance Instructor

Katie celebrates her 26th year teaching dance and her 8th year with 24/7 Dance Studio.  As a Licentiate Member of the Cecchetti Council of America, Katie is certified to instruct students and instructors in the Cecchetti Method of Ballet and Pointe Training through Grades 6 (of 8). She uses this technique as a foundation to instruct children's classes, beginning through intermediate level ballet and pointe classes, to build technically strong and artistically rounded dancers.  

Katie grew up dancing in Frederick, MD, and has explored a variety of roles in arts education.  She has found her home in the 24/7 Dance Family.  Her core teaching belief is that everybody has the magnificent spark to express creativity through the beauty of movement and to find an accepting community in the performing arts.  Katie loves to sub in for other instructors, so chances are high that you will see her in class sometime!  

When not at the studio or working for FCPS, you can find Katie enjoying the outdoors with her family.
