So excited to have Nadja to help teach classes this summer!!

Nadja Kapetanovich is a rising sophomore nursing major at Saint Louis University, where she also takes vocal and dance clases. She has performed in many professional theater productions around the St. Louis area, including operettas, musicals, plays, and ballets. This summer, she will be joining the cast of The Little Mermaid (Christ Memorial Productions), and will be playing Lizzie Borden in Lizzie (Stray Dog Theatre) in the fall. She credits her excellent training at The Creative Dance Studio with giving her a solid foundation and can’t wait to join as a guest instructor!
