Katerina (Kat) began her dance training at the age of two at The Dance Inn in Lexington MA where she studied tap, jazz, ballet, and hip hop under the artistic direction of Thelma Goldberg. From there, Katerina attended the University of Connecticut where she continued her dance career and debuted her original hip hop choreography as a member of the UConn Dance Company from 2016-2020. She later attended Suffolk University where she received her Masters in Health Care Administration. She currently works for Beth Israel Lahey Health. This is Katerina's 6th season with DanceWorks Boston and is thrilled to debut her first piece with DWB, a hip-hop piece that is inspired by the early years of her hip hop training and pulls from classic R&B roots.
