Kate Carol & Company Dance focuses on educational opportunities in dance. We hope to provide assistance for deserving students who would otherwise be unable to participate in the arts without financial help, the means to experience dance and, or continue their studies in a professional environment. Our goal is to provide the tools and foundation necessary for growth and success.
Our students have performed in Joffrey's "Nutcracker", Twyla Tharp's "One Hundred Project", and Washington Ballet's “Hansel and Gretel". Our students have been accepted into prominent dance departments, have been members of Big Ten University Dance Teams and professional dance teams. Our alumni are teaching and performing professionally with dance companies. One of our alumni has been the Director of Pacific Northwest Ballet's Outreach Program. An alumnus has performed with the American Tour of “Gypsy”. Another alumna performed with Gus Giordano’s Second Company in Chicago, and has been a Program Director with Culture Shock Dance Group San Diego. Our students have received multiple college scholarships, graduated with honors in dance and have been accepted to Harvard and Yale. Our students have been accepted to these prestigious summer programs: Joffrey Ballet New York City, Joffrey Ballet Bolshoi Summer Exchange Program in Russia, American Ballet Theatre, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, The Rock School of Ballet, Interlochen, Minnesota Conservatory, Milwaukee Ballet, Nashville Ballet. Students have received a merit scholarship to Joffrey Ballet New York City Summer Intensive and a scholarship to Blue Lakes Arts Camp. Two of our students have been accepted as trainees for the Joffrey Ballet, in New York City. The acceptance package stated that there are only 50 spots available worldwide. “As a Trainee, you are among a select group of dancers, chosen from thousands that auditioned.”
