There are not enough words to say thank you for all you have given to our program. We love you!!

P.S. We are so happy to share that Katy will still be involved at DanceWorks as our Dads and Daughters choreographer and instructor! 💜

As a senior, she performed with the Senior Company, earning an 8th-place finish and a Judges’ Choice award for her solo, and also served as an assistant teacher for dancers ages 5-7. Ali continues to stay connected to dance at the University of St. Thomas, where she is a member of the dance club while pursuing her bachelor’s degree in nursing. Ali is currently on our summer staff co-teaching and training with Ms. Kelly. In the fall she will be instructing AB3 & 4 and K-1st classes! She is thrilled to return to DanceWorks as a member of the staff working with our young dancers!
