Katherine Kramer

Katherine is a dedicated optimist. She has been a tap and jazz dance artist, teacher, choreographer, and community builder for over thirty years. Her lifetime body of work is a testament to her philosophy that a community that supports and involves artists is a more living, organic, vibrant organism. And she has taken that a step farther to incorporate non-dancers from all over and across the lines of communities she has worked with to create dance performances and creativity experiences rich with the stories and rhythms of local life.

She is a model of positive energy and happiness in her work, and all she works with warm right up to her. She brings out their confidence spirit, their love of movement freedom, and gives them the permission and tools to really express their lives and the opportunity to connect with vitally different parts of their communities. She is a real architect and builder of soul to soul living experiences, shouted out in performance that is accessible and meaningful to all.
