Faculty

MISS KATIE has been dancing since the age of three. She received her early training from studios in Monmouth and Ocean County, where she trained in various styles of dance and danced competitively. Katie is a graduate from DeSales University in Center Valley, Pennsylvania and holds a BA in Dance. While attending DeSales, she studied Dance Technique, Teaching Methods in Dance, Dance Composition, Improvisation, Dance History, and Kinesiology. She trained with professional artists such as Trinette Singleton, Tara Madsen, Tim Cowart, and Angela Sigley Grossman, and also performed works choreographed by guest artists such as Camille Armstrong, Jeff Shade, and Gregory Dolbashian. She performed and participated at the American College Dance Association at Ohio University and Hofstra University.

Katie has interned with major tap festivals such as Jersey Tap Fest and Tap City, and has performed reparatory works under the direction of Germaine Goodson. Katie was previously a member of Anthony LoCascio’s #Taplife Company and worked as the Assistant Company Manager for the group. During her time with the company, she had the privilege to perform in tap dance shows in New York City and participate in various dance festivals throughout the tri-state area. Some notable accomplishments include performances for JetBlue, the American Tap Dance Foundation’s “Something Afoot!”, and the music video, “#Taplife- Eyes”. Katie is very excited to be a part of the All For Dance faculty and share her love of dance with her students!
