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.

Youth jazz classes feed our Winter Holiday Show and Spring Production, so your dancer gets a real stage experience. Seasonal adult offerings vary, so ask us about current performance opportunities.

Yes! We offer Adult Lyrical Jazz, Adult Jazz Funk and Cabaret, and a seasonal Video Pop and Jazz Fusion class. Adult dancers are small in number but truly valued here.
What should I wear to jazz class?
Wear a leotard or fitted dance shorts and top that you can move in, with jazz shoes (black if new). Keep hair pulled back and away from the face.
Do I need dance experience to take jazz?
No experience needed. Our jazz classes welcome beginners, and dancers build technique and confidence over time in a structured, supportive setting.
What age is jazz for?
Our Pop Jazz Dance class is designed for youth roughly ages 8 to 17, and we also offer several jazz styles for adults. Younger children get an introduction to jazz through our combo classes.
