Katie
Katie grew up in Smithtown, New York and attended The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where she received a B.F.A. in Dance with a concentration in Choreography and Performance. She went on to dance professionally for Don Arden's Jubilee in Las Vegas, Norwegian Cruise Line, Paul Mitchell Hair Systems, regional theater productions, charity and corporate events, commercials, Bollydoll Live, and music and fitness videos. She first experienced Pure Barre in 2010 while living in Las Vegas and dancing in Jubilee at Bally's Hotel and Casino. She fell in love with it. It's the only thing that has truly given her body strength and power for life and a long career in dance. After two years in Vegas, she finished out her contract with Jubliee and moved to Los Angeles, CA where she was selected to be an instructor at Pure Barre Beverly Hills and part of its opening team. While in Los Angeles, Katie was in a car accident and was sidelined from dance and fitness for awhile. But having moved back to her home state of New York to put down roots, Pure Barre has not only given her joy as an instructor, it has made her strong again! There is nothing she feels anyone can't accomplish with Pure Barre and the community it brings. Having operated a fitness studio on Long Island and taught Pure Barre at Huntington, Woodbury, East Setuaket, and managed the Southampton, NY studio, Katie now resides in Miller Place with her husband and daughter excited and ready to spread her love and passion for Pure Barre with her own community!
