Katie — Founder, Director & Head Instructor
17+ years of training, 9 intensives, and 4 companies later — most recently locally at Convergence Ballet here in Arizona — I decided that kind of training shouldn't require a paycheck to access. I'd seen too many traditional studios leave kids feeling intimidated, overlooked, or priced out of the joy of dance.
I created Ribbons & Relevés because real, professional-caliber ballet should feel like magic, not pressure — and it should be free. Every child who walks through that door deserves to feel celebrated, capable, and completely at home. This is that place.

Every class blends real ballet training with warmth, so dancers of every age leave feeling capable, celebrated, and excited to come back. Here's what a class looks like.
Gentle stretching and movement to open the body and settle in.
Foundational ballet positions and alignment, at the barre.
Center work and movement across the floor, set to music.
Room to play, imagine, and make the movement your own.
We lead with the joy of moving — the rush of learning a new combination, the warmth of music in your body. Technique grows from there.
No experience, no special clothing, no pressure. Whether it's a first plié or a return to ballet, every dancer is met exactly where they are.
Cost should never keep a child from dance. Every class is completely free — no registration, no catch.
