🌟 SENIOR SPOTLIGHT • KATE PRICE 🌟

price_ has been an ATB dancer for the past 11 years, and we are beyond proud to know her, love her, and celebrate all she’s accomplished! 🩵🧡 This fall, she’ll be attending the University of Arkansas to study Interior Architecture & Design.

Some of Kate’s favorite ATB memories are all the moments spent at Nationals each year—especially the team bonding and memories made together outside of competition.

Kate says her biggest inspirations are her teammates and teachers, who have always encouraged her to keep pushing, even through the toughest moments. She also shares that the younger dancers inspire her every day to find passion and joy in everything she does.

When asked what she’ll miss most, Kate said she’ll miss the welcoming environment where she could truly be herself and the teachers she’s grown alongside for so many years.

💃🏻 Favorite dance style: Jazz

A message to her dance family:
“I love you all so much, and I am truly grateful for everything you’ve done for me. You have shown me so much support, love, and true friendship, and I will cherish that forever. I’m going to miss all of you and the incredible impact you’ve had on my life over the past 11 years. Keep pushing, keep smiling, and keep being you! I love you guys! 😘🥰

Love, Kate”
