Coaches who treat your child like family

Kate has been working with children for more than 10 years across gymnastics, choreography, theater, art, special education and early-childhood classrooms. She holds a Bachelor's in choreographic art and a Master's in teaching from a Pedagogical State University, and is a Levels 4–8 Rhythmic Gymnastics Coach.

Her style is calm and energetic at the same time. Students work at their own pace — there's always a simpler version of a pose available, progress is celebrated with applause, and language stays positive ("straighten your leg," not "stop bending your leg"). A background in stand-up and improv shows up in every class: lots of enthusiasm, a little theater, and a lot of patience.

Kate has served as Head of the Choreographic Department at a children's art school, coached competition gymnastics teams, and taught preschool and elementary kids. Her classes are explicitly inclusive — children with all needs are welcome, and parents are encouraged to share what their child needs to feel comfortable.
