Information about Catherine’s Dance Studio

We believe students should have fun and work hard.

Proper dance technique is the key to developing better dancers. We achieve this is through our smaller class sizes. It is our sincere hope that with love, dedication and support, students will do amazing things through their training at our studio.

About Catherine’s Passion to Teach

When she was little, Catherine dreamed of being a ballerina. As she grew older, she realized how much she loved teaching ballet. At the age of 14, Catherine created a dance studio out of her bedroom—wood floors, a wall of mirrors, a ballet barre, and pink paint! Catherine followed her dreams of expanding the studio to what we see now.

Catherine’s caring nature and ability to make each girl feel special make her an even better instructor. Students come to class to have fun and work hard. Each one of our instructors can combine their unique gifts to help each girl grow and become a beautiful dancer.

About Catherine’s Dance Facility

Our 6,000-square-foot studio space offers three ballrooms: Loretto, Carmelina, and Marjorie. Each studio space has a private entrance and restroom.

Catherine’s Dance Studio is more than a place to dance. It is another place to call ‘home’ for many. A student wrote a paper on Catherine’s Dance Studio and said it was like a ‘family’ to her. This is a true testament to the place we have created, and we cannot wait for your dancer to feel the same way!

“I love to dance. I love everything about it. When I don’t dance – I miss it. I look forward to teaching students to dance and to see what they think of the dance. It is exciting to see their growth. To see how they develop, to watch them become dancers and become individual people. It is amazing for me to be apart of that.”

I am so proud to call Catherine’s Dance Studio our dance home. Judy and Catherine are always so supportive of my daughter, They see her special gifts and unique talents more than any teacher we’ve ever had. They encourage her and that is amazing to see as a parent. The Parkville days Parade was a testament to the support and love that Catherine’s Dance Studio has from students and parents. It was a sea of Pink down Main Street in August! It was awesome to see! The recitals are wonderful! This mother-daughter duo is incredible!

Catherine Kolkoski

I started dancing at Catherine’s Dance Studio when I was 13. Most girls begin dance very young, but even with my lack of experience Catherine took the time to teach me everything I needed to know. Because of the individual attention I received from Catherine I was able to accomplish many things I never thought possible. Catherine’s Dance Studio helped me fulfill my dream of being on my high school dance team and now I am a Cheerleader at Park University. In just five short years I learned to perform at a high school level and now a college level, and I owe all of that to Catherine’s Dance Studio.

Hi, just wanted to touch base with you and tell you that we attended the dance recital dress rehearsal on Saturday as grandparents of Annie and Emma Jones.   Your girls did an awesome job and I was so impressed that you were so calm and focused the whole time before and during the rehearsal.   I was also very happy to see my granddaughters in a studio where the costumes and dances are modest and appropriate.   That is very important to me as a grandma.   That’s it – just thought that good feedback is always welcome :o)    God is good!

I’ve learned so much here about not only dance but about life and myself. This is more than just a dance studio; its a family.
