Kathie is most proud of being the founder of “Dancing For A Miracle”, a local performance fundraiser that invited Cleveland dancers to come together to help a child or family in need within our dance community. Over the years, “Dancing For A Miracle” has raised over $50,000, and has helped lighten the burden for some very special families. “We dance today, to give hope for tomorrow.” Kathie hopes to always inspire and challenge every dancer she meets along the way with becoming their best self, to enjoy the journey and to share their gifts with the world with love and kindness.
