ABOUT kathryn
Meet Kathryn, a knowledgeable and trusted professional in the dance studio industry with a passion for both studio success and meaningful movement experiences.
For the 2026–2027 dance season, Kathryn is excited to add teaching back into her schedule through Dance with Miss Kathryn, offering classes in a shared movement space called The Co-Op in Marshall, Michigan.
Kathryn’s journey began at Walt Disney World before her dream became a reality when she opened her own dance studio in Marshall. She owned and operated her studio for 12 years, growing the business to approximately 400 students through excellent customer communication, intentional marketing strategies, and a strong foundation of confidence and trust with her clientele.
During her time as a studio owner, Kathryn developed a competition team and elite student company, while also utilizing her network to bring guest artists, intensives, and workshops to her students.
Over time, Kathryn discovered that many of her greatest strengths lie in studio organization, project development, customer relationship management, and marketing. This led her to expand her career within the studio industry, including her work as a New Account Specialist with DanceStudio-Pro, where she gained extensive knowledge of studio software and the systems that support successful studio operations.
In addition to incorporating software into daily business operations, Kathryn has helped studios build integrations and automation systems designed to reduce manual tasks and create more efficient workflows. She has worked with studios throughout the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, helping studio owners build strong foundations for successful, sustainable businesses.
Today, Kathryn continues to strive for excellence in customer service through her role as Owner and CEO of Studio Advantage, while also returning to the classroom to share her love of dance with students.
Whether she is helping a studio owner build better systems or helping a young dancer build confidence, Kathryn’s goal remains the same: to create meaningful experiences through professionalism, connection, and a genuine passion for the dance community.
