Katarina (Kitty) grew up in central Massachusetts and trained at The Dance Place Inc. since the age of three. She trained in all styles of dance including: ballet, pointe, lyrical, contemporary, jazz, tap and hip-hop. At age ten Katarina became a dance assistant giving her the ability to help train other dancers. In her younger years she performed with Ballet Arts Worcester performing their annual Nutcracker. After graduating high school Katarina taught hip-hop at her childhood studio over the summers. She also attended several dance conventions and Master classes throughout her dance training in Massachusetts. Outside of dance, Katarina is a registered nurse at Mass General. Katarina joined DanceWorks her first semester of college and DanceWorks gave Katarina a stress free outlet that was therapeutic for her in more ways than one. 

This is Katarina’s tenth season of DanceWorks and first time choreographing. She is ecstatic for this opportunity and cannot wait for another amazing season with DWB! Katarina wants to give a shout-out to her incredible co-choreographer Justin..thank you for everything !
