Katie Sinkowski

Instructor

Katie has been dancing since the age of three training in ballet, pointe, lyrical, jazz and hiphop at a variety of studios around Norfolk, Haldimand and Brantford. Having always had an appreciation for ballet, her love for the art really ignited in her early 20’s when she successfully completed her first RAD ballet examination.

Katie began dancing at the Lisa Naves Dance Company in 2014. Training under Sharon Smith, who was her former ballet teacher as a young child, Katie successfully completed a variety of levels of the RAD to include up to advance 1, and continues to train in advanced 2.

Since 2019 Katie has been assisting with the ballet program at LNDC, and officially joined as a teacher in the fall of 2022. She has truly valued the experience to have Sharon as a mentor and learn the RAD syllabus from both a dancer and teachers perspective. Katie is very thankful she is able to share her passion for ballet with her daughter Abby, and help show her and other students at LNDC to appreciate the technical aspects and history of such a beautiful art.
