Katlin Zimmer
Owner & Creative Director
Your dancer's first stop is often Katlin, the studio's owner and creative director. Certified by Dance Masters of America in ballet, tap, jazz, and modern, she's spent 20+ years teaching, running competition teams, and choreographing, including work for the NBA. She built Productions Dance on the idea that technique should feel like a show, not a drill.
