Meet our Teachers!
Katrina DiCesare
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 tap, jazz, ballet, pointe, lyrical, and more. 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 a part of the dance team at Bridgewater State College. Miss Katrina brings years of experience inspiring students of all ages and she creates a welcoming environment where dancers feel loved and 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.

Caroline
Assistant Teacher
Q: What do you love most about Dance Concepts?
A: "Dance Concepts has taught me a lot of fun new skills and important dance technique. Also, I have a lot of friends at Dance Concepts. When I first started dancing, I was kind of quiet and shy and they helped me come out of my shell and now we are all dance besties. Dance Concepts is my favorite place to be. There are a lot of nice teachers and girls that will always help you and make you feel confident and will make you love dance even more".
Caroline has been dancing for as long as she can remember and has truly grown up in the studio! At 12 years old, she already loves sharing her passion for dance with our younger dancers. Caroline is sweet, encouraging, and always ready to lend a helping hand in class.

We love watching Caroline grow not only as a dancer, but also as a wonderful role model and Assistant Teacher! 💗🖤
