DANIEL BLUE: MEET KATE MONTHY >>>
Kate Monthy is a dancer. She looks like a dancer. She walks like a dancer. She speaks as if conversation were a carefully choreographed partnership in articulation.
"MLKBallet is an organization that produces and teaches dance," she says curtly, and then with a little bow of her head into a memorized eloquence, "a tuition free school for dance, offering affordable entertainment and exposing people to dance in Tacoma."
I cared little for dance before Kate conceived her way into giving back in the form of instructing young movement.
A product of Tacoma City Ballet, she has basically been training for this job since she was a very little girl.
"Dance is just MLKBallet's medium to bring kids and adults together to create and watch good art. I choose it because that's what I know how to teach and produce."
Kate's MOVE series is a way of showcasing the budding young talent while simultaneously inspiring and educating a growing audience with professional performances from the dance community.
"This is about new models," says Kate when I asked her about the goals the nonprofit ballet school, "new ways to run a dance school, run an organization, new ways to teach children, and new ways of creating an appetite and vocabulary for this kind of art."
Kate is beautiful.
