Meet Our Instructors

The heart behind Ribbons & Relevés

Katie — Founder, Director & Head Instructor

17+ years of training, 9 intensives, and 4 companies later — most recently locally at Convergence Ballet here in Arizona — I decided that kind of training shouldn't require a paycheck to access. I'd seen too many traditional studios leave kids feeling intimidated, overlooked, or priced out of the joy of dance.

I created Ribbons & Relevés because real, professional-caliber ballet should feel like magic, not pressure — and it should be free. Every child who walks through that door deserves to feel celebrated, capable, and completely at home. This is that place.
