Teaching Philosophy
Katia can make a positive difference in your dance! She has inspired
thousands of students with her dedication, dance knowledge and ability to convey the essence of
the Oriental dance. Katia teaches aspiring young dancers in Middle Eastern movement
technique and coaches professionals in performance technique and
music interpretation.
Katia teaches dance workshops in classical and
folkloric styles of Oriental dance. With her years of experience in
theater as well as many years in nightclub performance, Katia feels
that "dancers need good technique and the ability to think on
their feet to live music. The study of choreography not only
inspires one with beautiful dances but increases sensitivity to
music, enhances interpretation of musical dynamics and builds dance
vocabulary for live performance."
