TEACHING STAFF

Katherine is a Graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School and Victoria College of the Arts where she was extensively trained in classical ballet and contemporary dance. Katherine then went onto study education where later on she put these skills to good use working at Brunswick Secondary College (2004 to 2012).  She taught mathematics and dance to students from 48 different cultural backgrounds. It was here that a passion for choreography developed producing a total of eight Rock Eisteddfod performances for the school. This resulted in placing first five times and gaining the title of best global choreography for Submerged in 2011. Katherine began Studio Kiki now Kiki Dance Collective through Hawthorn Citizens' Youth Club in 2003. Offering classical ballet in the Cecchetti method (currently holds an Associate Diploma status with Cecchetti Ballet Society of Australia) and hip hop, the school specialises in contemporary dance. In 2013 Katherine established Shadow Cut Youth Dance Company to further extend young contemporary dancers. Katherine is extremely passionate about the development and training of contemporary dance for young dancers. Having spent fifteen years working with the youth of today she believes dance is a wonderful platform for a child’s overall development that teaches so many wonderful skills for life.
