Pro Dance Prep's Owner and National Director, Katie Ann, is recognized as a leading professional dance team expert throughout the country. 

 

With over 24 years of dance experience, she has been through numerous dance auditions, workshops/conventions, teams, studios, and styles. 

​

Katie began dancing at the age of 4 and has trained competitively in all styles, earning 5 National Titles between the age of 9 & 18. She attended New World School of the Arts in Downtown Miami for her freshman and sophomore year of high school. Finishing her last 2 years of high school online, she danced as an apprentice for a modern dance company in upstate NY. Katie then moved to the big apple to dance for NYU/Tisch School of the Arts, graduating with her B.F.A. in Dance, minoring in Nutrition and getting certified as a Personal Trainer. As she moved back home to Miami, FL, she decided to take a chance on the sports industry. Katie cheered as a Miami Dolphins Cheerleader for 3 seasons, chosen for cover girl 2 of those seasons, traveled on 3 military tours to visit over 15 bases throughout the world, received Rookie of the Year her 1st year, Veteran of the Year her last year & ended as a captain in the NFL. Not to mention, probably the most significant accolade she received during her time there... the moment she met her husband, the Miami Dolphins Mascot.
