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."
