Kia ora everyone! My name is Kat and I'm super happy to be back this year with even more classes to teach. I've danced for 17 years mainly in Ballet and Contemporary dance. I studied at Unitec for my Bachelor's in Performing and Screen Arts (Contemporary Dance) and graduated in 2022. I love finding new ways to move, think and explain ideas in dance. If you ever have any questions I'm always happy to answer.
