Katie is very appreciative to be acknowledged for her hard work in dance by receiving the 2025 Overall Dance Excellence Award. After taking her first tap class at the age of three, Katie’s passion for dance began. She started with ballet and tap before joining competitive dance and exploring modern, jazz, and hip hop. Katie trained with Judy Russell’s Enchainement Dance Centre and     began training with Method Dance Society in her grade 12 year.

She has now graduated high school and is interested in the modern/contemporary dance world and hopes to be involved in company work in the future. Katie would like to extend her thanks to the Prince George Dance Festival for being a joyful tradition in her childhood. She congratulates the festival on its 50th          anniversary and hopes the dancers soak up every moment.

Good luck everyone!
