A message from Katie

I am so incredibly proud to be a part of this company both on and off stage. Not only has the Elite company allowed me to continue working on my own craft, but now being on the faculty has allowed me to share the things I’ve learned with our outrageously talented students. It never stops amazing me how supportive, generous, and kind our company members are, we have a uniquely ambitious and encouraging environment at our studios and It’s a pleasure watching the company grow.
