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.

Will tap dancers perform?
Yes! Like all our classes, tap feeds into the Winter Holiday Show and Spring Production, giving dancers a real stage to show off their rhythm.
How does the tap program progress?
Dancers move from Tap Foundations into Tap 2 and Tap 3 as they build rhythm, speed, and technique. Summer tap workshops offer extra practice between sessions.
Does my child need experience?
Not at all. Tap Foundations is a true beginner class, and our combos give younger children a gentle, playful first taste of tap.
What kind of tap shoes does my dancer need?
Any style of tap shoe is welcome. Just make sure hair is secured and ankles are visible so instructors can watch the footwork.
What age can my child start tap?
Tap is introduced in our preschool and primary combo classes starting around age 3. Dedicated tap classes, beginning with Tap Foundations, are geared toward dancers ages 7 and up.
