"...my favorite Modern Dance teacher EVER!"

professional dancer with

Pittsburgh Dance Alloy Theater

"Karen taught me the incredibly important lesson of versatility. As a budding modern dancer she offered me a survey of the modern masters so that I could take with me a knowledge of my history as a dancer and an adaptability that has served me well as a professional in NYC. I count her as my first mentor and an important guiding force in my choice to pursue dance performance. Her classes and pieces are always wonderfully splendid to dance and gave me a sense of physical awareness and deep happiness."
