I was inspired to watch Kate's videos on
YouTube during a choreography course in
middle school. From the start, I loved the
musicality and pedestrian-like movements
displayed in her dances. The dancers too,
were able to display Kate’s flowing, yet
sharp movements, and moreover, they stayed
in sync with one another throughout the
entirety of the piece. I quickly grew to love
Kate’s choreography and look forward to her
new works.
After watching a few of Kate’s videos, I fell
in love with her pieces. Her movement was
strong, yet elegant, which made me want to
watch more of her choreography. I love the
simple movement she tends to use and the
song choices. Her dancers are amazing and
make her ideas come to life.
