Dear SLADfam,
We have some news!
After 7 wonderful years, our amazing Katherine Kennedy is moving on to a new adventure. She has been an integral member of this SLAD family and team, and our hearts are incredibly sad at the thought of her not within our studio walls next year. But in true SLAD fashion, we are going to cheer her on as she embarks on her journey to Boston, MA this August. It has been an absolute joy to watch Miss Katherine as she has helped us grow. The good news is she will be here for the beginning of the summer session and will be kicking it with us during our Intensive and FUNtensive! Then we plan to host a “See You Soon Soirée” on Friday July 24, 5:00-7:00 pm at SLAD so everyone who would like to come send her off with love, hugs, and best wishes can do so. Join us in sharing our love and best wishes with Miss Katherine.
“To each SLAD student I have had the privilege to teach: thank you for your dedication, energy, and creativity. Every moment, from the ages it takes me to set a pose, to the laughs in class and the big technique wins, has meant the world to me. I am incredibly proud of the dancers you are, but even more proud of the kind and hardworking individuals you are growing into. I hope you continue to dance with passion, confidence, and joy. Never stop believing in yourselves, taking risks, and pursuing what you love. SLAD may no longer be where our paths cross every week, but I will always be cheering you on! Thank you all for welcoming me into the SLAD family with open arms. This is a chapter in my life I will always hold close to my heart.
Miss Katherine”
