Katapult is a wonderful dance school! My daughter is a senior student and has always been taught and mentored by professional teachers with amazing talent - she absolutely loves going to dance! The Principal, Miss Katja has made the school into a fun and loving environment but also challenges her students to work hard and achieve their best. I have been very impressed with Miss Katja’s concern and care for the health and wellbeing of all her students. The dancing community created at Katapult is amazing - we love it and the concerts are outstanding!!
