You may find Kathryn running around the studio playing with the
little ones or registering families for classes. As our Children’s
Program Coordinator, Kathryn has designed and developed a series
of successful programs over the past few years including “Page
To Stage”, “Up, Up & Away”, “Mix It Up”, “Around the World” and
“Summer Safari”. The camps build off of themes combining
dance, expressive arts and education. She is also an administrative
coordinator for AIWA. Kathryn grew up dancing and eventually
competed for her hometown studio in Westfield. Dance was an
important part of her personal development, and she credits her
youth dance instructor for helping bring out an inner confidence, a
foundation that carried over into a decade long career in TV and
broadcast journalism. She feels very fortunate to be able to work
at Ascendance and give back to children through this artistic
format that has given her so much. Kathryn, her husband John, and
their two children, Jack and Grace, live in Florence.
