About Us

Catherine Grace Studios mission is to provide high quality, pre-professional training. Classes emphasize technique, artistry, and creativity. Our classes are intentionally kept smaller to ensure personalized feedback and attention for every dancer. We strive to create an environment where students walk away feeling confident and truly engaged in their learning. Beyond teaching artistic excellence, we are committed to enriching the community through the arts. The classes are kept small to give individual feedback and attention. It is our mission to not only to teach the highest caliber of artistic excellence, but also to enrich the community through the arts.
