Kat is an excellent instructor and is kind, patient, and encouraging. We also highly value that she travels to our house to provide us with our dance lessons. Kat is the best!

Kat was so much fun to work with for our wedding’s first dance! We were nervous, at first, as neither of us had much dancing experience. She did an excellent job building confidence as we progressed. She provided foundational movements for us to practice at first then worked towards a choreographed dance for our big day! The pace of learning was very comfortable and she did an excellent job of ensuring that we weren’t getting too far ahead of ourselves. This helped to have a comfortable and confident dance on the day of!

My fiance and I have been working with Kat (All About Dancing) for a couple months now! we were so excited to begin learning how to dance for our wedding but then coronavirus hit! Thankfully we found Kat and she was understanding, creative and patient with us! she has been teaching us choreography and how to properly waltz over FaceTime! Our family cannot believe how good we already look together and we have only just begun! I mean ... we are already doing lifts and I’m dancing in heels!!! Kat is going to help us refine our dance as we lead up to our wedding and we know we are so lucky to have connected with her. I’ll be updating with a before and after video so you can see the magic she can do with anyone who hasn’t danced before. Oh... look up her competition videos! They will inspire you even more to take up dancing and if you’re already a dancer she’ll take you to the next level! I can’t believe how much fun we are having (we are such bad dancers I honestly thought this might be the thing that caused a divorce before the wedding lol!) but this has been so fun and allowed us to learn a lot about each other through dance. I think she has made me fall in love with dancing!

Details: 36-45 • Two people • Ballroom • Beginner • Preparing for a wedding • 60 minutes • Once a week • My home, venue, etc.

Loved the professionalism and fun that Kat brought to my event. All the couples participated in ballroom dancing to Christmas Carols and they loved it. Thanks Kat for making my event a success!

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  I charge a flat, discounted rate for online private lessons via FaceTime or Zoom, and I offer discounts for in-person private lesson package purchases of 5 or more lessons.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  New dancers can expect to learn the basics of leading or following through beginner level steps. The goal is to get people comfortable dancing with a partner, as well as build their confidence to dance in public and with others (for social dancers). Of course timing, musicality, and technique are covered, but the most important thing is to get people moving. For wedding couples, usually the focus is on their first dance, however, there are many other parts of wedding dances that we can cover.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I have been teaching since 2009 and dancing even longer. My college degree is in management but my dance training has been from top-level coaches since day 1. Both teacher and dance training give me the ability to communicate effectively with students. My dance background includes ballroom, salsa, jazz, ballet, modern, Argentine tango, and Afro-Cuban styles.
