As a dance instructor and choreographer Katlin has always had an admiration towards the production side of dance. How can the pieces in a recital tell a story? How can each dancer uniquely contribute to the story? How can those stories provoke an emotion?

She has been teaching, running competition teams, and managing dance camps for 15+ years. She's also had the pleasure of directing multiple productions at the famed Cal-Neva Historical Theater where Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack frequently performed. Katlin has danced and choreographed professionally for the NBA, as well as trained and choreographed award winning pieces at the highest national level.
Katlin currently resides in Lake City, Seattle and enjoys adventuring around the city with her 2 children.
Rebecca has been studying and performing dance since 1984, and she began teaching over 20 years ago.

By blending music, athletics, storytelling, and community building in a creative whirlwind, dance can help you understand yourself and others.

A Seattle native, Rebecca now enjoys her house dance parties in Shoreline with her husband, two children, and mischievous cat.
