Katie is thrilled to be the recipient of the 2024 Overall Dance Excellence Award. Starting ballet and tap when she was three, Katie has always had a passion for dance. She is now in grade 12 and has been competing in the Prince George Dance Festival for many years and she will miss this tradition after she graduates. She’s currently training at Judy Russell’s Enchainement Dance Centre and has begun a youth apprenticeship at Method Dance Society. She is grateful to Method for helping her navigate the start of her modern/contemporary dance education which she plans to continue to study post-secondary. While she hopes to pursue a career in contemporary dance and choreography, tap will forever and always be her favourite style of dance. Katie would like to extend her thanks to the many teachers and choreographers who have helped her throughout her dance journey. She would also like to thank all the volunteers and sponsors of the Prince George Dance Festival who make this wonderful event possible. Katie would like to wish all the dancers good luck this year, and she hopes you all make some amazing memories.
