Welcome to Katie's Studio

Katie’s Dance Studio opened for business in September 1994. Katie Holmes received a contract at Fort Leavenworth and began teaching dance classes for kids through Youth Services at the Harrold Youth Center on post. She also began teaching classes in Lansing through the Lansing PTO and schools.

After her dance studio was open for business for four years and wanting to expand her studio size, Katie opened the doors to her first Leavenworth dance academy location on South 4th Street Traffic way in fall 1999. Needing even more space to occupy the growing interest in the studio, Katie relocated to the 1290 Eisenhower Road location, on the border of Leavenworth and Lansing, after just a year. Desiring to branch out even more, Katie also began offering a variety of music lessons in the fall of 2005.

Over the years, Katie has been honored with watching her students grow up, graduate high school and college, get married, and even have their own children return as second generation students. Katie prides herself on the fact that her staff members share the same dedication and perseverance she has for teaching dance. These staff members are what make each year, each recital, and each student better than before. By taking classes within the studio, as well as attending workshops, conventions, and competitions, the staff continues to educate themselves. All of our instructors hold Bachelor’s degrees in areas such as education, nursing, social work and the arts. Miss Katie holds a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a master’s degree in the Art of Teaching.  She taught Kindergarten through third grade for 31 years in the Easton School District.  She coached the Pleasant Ridge High School Cheer and Dance teams as well.

Miss Katie has had the honor of being a 32 year member of Dance Masters of America (A national organization for dance teachers that provides educational opportunities for teachers and students across the country and internationally.)  She currently holds the office of secretary for the Heart of America DMA Chapter 28.

She stresses to her staff the importance of maintaining traditional teaching methods, and integrating fresh, up-to-date dance techniques into the curriculum in order to provide an optimal learning environment to every child. The staff at Katie’s Acrobatics, Dance and Music work hard to help each child reach their full potential. They focus on progressive lessons and age appropriate moves/music. We continue to update dance classes for kids offerings, lessons and curriculum to fit the needs of our students.  2022 marked a record year for Katie's Staff, our staff has combined over 141 years of teaching experience!

Participation in Dance, Acrobatics and Music provides so much more than just steps. Students develop self-esteem, social skills, listening skills, friendships; discipline, active life style, and concentration just to name a few. In the dance business people always say, “Dance Changes Everything!” We have found that to be ever so TRUE!

Dance, Acrobatics, and Music For a Lifetime.

At Katie's Acrobat, Dance and Music Studio, we want to give every student the experience that will develop their skills, and teach them the joy of the arts to last a lifetime! As a dance educator for over 40 years and elementary educator for 31 years, Miss Katie believes that each child is unique, talented and special. She and her staff work to help each child reach their personal potential, to be their best self and never give up! Motivation, discipline, confidence, joy = Dance. Dance changes Everything!
