We hope you all had safe and restful Spring Breaks. Our Spring Dance Recitals are just 8 weeks away! We look forward to celebrating our theme,“PASSION in Motion” with all of you. It’s timely, as this is Holy Week and a wonderful time to reflect on the passion of Christ and His incredible love for us. How can we receive this passionate love and let it move us?

Kaylee is celebrating a decade of teaching this year. She has a degree in modern dance and is a multi-versed performer and choreographer. She has experience with competitive dance, dance teams, musical theater, concert dance, music videos, and other industry work. A highlight of her performance career would be performing as a dancer/singer on Carnival Cruise Lines. She has won 3 choreography awards and loves the collaboration involved when the dancers bring her visions to life. Currently, she is living her dreams performing as a Minnesota Timberwolves Dancer!
Save the date! Cathedral Dance Festival is happening this year on Friday, May 5th and Saturday, May 6th! More details to come.
