"Just a note to thank you for the extraordinary effort that you are putting into the end of year concert. Yesterday was just an amazing experience for me as a parent to see what you have achieved with Freya (and all of the dancers) in a relatively short period of time. The professionalism, discipline, creativity, teamwork, dedication are things that I am so pleased that Freya is able to be exposed to and to learn from you. I feel so lucky to have found your wonderful school." |

| "There are so many of us who have had a passion for dance since we could walk. And to lose that for one reason/circumstance or another is really sad. But for someone to be able to inspire and ignite that passion again is really priceless - and you do that for all of us. Thanks a million for all your committment and dedication to us adults!" |

| " I have been really enjoying the classes and the way in which you have been teaching us, with great attention to detail and in inspiring us to aim for high standards." |

| "It's my observation that the strength of the Russian system of training is that it is performance based and everything in the levels of training reflect the goal of performing on stage. If you have an expert dancer leading the training, then his/her overview helps a student to understand where a particular level of training fits into that scheme with clear goals. Highly specific body use from generations of performance practice allows a student to confidently place the limbs and torso with strength and safety. Then, the best part (no matter how low the level!), a student is able to feel the wonder of expressing music through a coordinated body as s/he dances! At MSCD we work hard; we ask sticky questions; we are challenged; our individual progress is monitored; we laugh; we come back! We have a confidence in the classes because we are led by an expert dancer who is an expert teacher and one who is qualified in both areas. " |

| I love Kate's classes because she forsees the importance of good foundations to become a good dancer. She really drills every single step and even the slightest details in our movement bring the best dance out of us. Her teaching pace is just right, not too slow that you lose interest and not too quick either where you can't follow. =) She explains herself well, often uses imaginary visualisation technique to help us get the right posture. She is very analytical and could really pick up what's wrong with you, and corrects it immediately to prevent bad habits developement. In short, I really enjoy her class. If you are serious about being a good dancer, she is the one to go too. |
