Hello My name is Katie O'Brien I am 27 and I have lived in Huddersfield all my life. I have been dancing since the age of 8 learning ballroom, rock & roll, freestyle, and street dance. I then started showcasing my dancing at competitions across the UK, including Dancer of the year in Ireland, IDTA finals, BDO, UDO street competitions, and ADFP open competitions. I was a crucial part of the national winning team 4 years running, and in 2018, I placed 6th in freestyle slow dance at IDTA nationals. At the age of 23, I retired from freestyle and decided to pursue a career in teaching dance and performing arts to students. In August of 2020 I achieved my IDTA associate dance teachers qualification, and have been teaching ever since. I am very happy to be working along side Lindsay and Tristan at Tristan Dance Studios and looking forward to my future at the school.
