Katie Reinhardt has enjoyed the love of dance since she was a small child. She started training in ballet and tap early on, and became focused on classical ballet through to the age of 18. She danced with Ballet San Joaquin, performing in "Cinderella" & "Afternoon of a Faun," and studied & performed in partner work independently with a fellow company member (1998). She then went on to study modern & improvisational dance (with our own Lovie Bucknell),  which led her to study Dance Movement Therapy and earn her BA, at Naropa University in Boulder, CO (2003). In more recent years, Katie has collaboratively created the "Environment" for the VIP room of Boulder's own Erotica Ball, which included Butoh-esk performance art & costume (2006). She also worked with Besty Tobin, and the Now or Never Theater, in Boulder Fringe Festival, in "Shadows & Journeys," a full length experimental piece (2007). Now Katie is thrilled to have arrived back to her home town, Grass Valley, and have the privilege of working with The Movement Alliance.
