californiadancer's Bio

Hi my name is "Miss Kathie". I started dancing when I was 11, and began assistant teaching at age 13, when I fell in love with the idea of becoming a dance teacher. I started teaching my own classes when I was 15 and have been ever since. My sister and I "opened" our own dance studio by teaching classes to kids in our neighborhood out of our garage :) and from then on I continued to teach and eventually opened my own studio, Katharine's Academy of Dance. Our website address is katharinesacademyofdance.com.
In addition to owning my own small studio and teaching Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Lyrical, I just finished a term on scholorship at Academy of Performing Arts in San Diego where I occasionally subbed classes for the children's program. With my scholorship I got to take from amazing faculty including Steven Wistrich (the director of City Ballet of San Diego), Katie McIver and Kevin Herrman (co-directors of Fusion Dance Co), Xavier Hicks, Travis Ruigerllo (horrible job on that spelling :P), Rochelle Judd, Jonathon Taylor, and G Madison. I also have studied (while in college) with Patty Obey, Sue Gilson, Tom Hansen, Theo Ivey, and Molly Faulkner.
As a teacher I stress the importance of clean technqiue in all styles and a love of the art of dance. I would much rather see a dancer with amazing lines and beautiful stage presence than someone do fifteen pirouettes into a switch center :), though those things do have thier place. I put much more emphasis on gaining an appreciation for the art and the history of why we do what we do, and hope my students learn to appreciate the dedication and drive one must have to be a dancer.
