Meet the Dance Teachers

 Katrina Kacmar-Owner/Teacher

Miss Katrina is a passionate and dedicated dance educator who brings energy, creativity, and encouragement to each class. She began dancing at the age of 3 at Young World in Quincy where she grew up dancing in all styles and competing. During this time, in high school, is when she started teaching her own dance classes and the rest is history. She has been teaching dance for over 20 years! Miss Katrina danced throughout college, including being apart of Bridgewater State College’s dance team. Miss Katrina brings years of experience inspiring students of all ages and she creates a welcoming environment where dancers feel encouraged to take risks, build confidence, and develop their skills. She blends strong technique with a love for performance. Whether teaching young beginners or experienced dancers, Miss Katrina’s mission is to help each student grow in skill, confidence, and joy — both on and off the dance floor.

When she isn’t dancing, Miss Katrina is also a mom of three and a kindergarten teacher for an elementary school in West Roxbury. She has been teaching for almost 20 years!
