“Kat Studios is by far my daughters favourite program we have ever enrolled in! Kat is absolutely amazing at finding what is special about each and every kid, and giving them the tools to shine! Her program is fun, super valuable for growing life skills (like public speaking), and creating a space for kids to feel comfortable and learn what theater is all about! My daughter’s singing has also come along so far in the short time she has been doing vocal lessons in this program! 10🌟’s!!”
Laurie Adams
“Fantastic experience. Our daughter loves the Triple Threat program and Kat has a fantastic rapport with the kids. Our daughter wishes every class lasted longer. Kat mixes up the routine and our daughter enjoys playing the improv games and skill building as well as working on the production. Highly recommend.”
Carly Huitema
“We have had a great experience with Kat Studios and highly recommend. Our daughter has attended summer camps and we also hosted her birthday party there. Kat has a great level of energy, and our daughter was drawn to her immediately! Her personality and level of caring puts kids at ease immediately. Her program brings out the very best in the kids that participate and is amazing for building self-esteem. We will continue to enroll our daughter there!.”
