DANCE HISTORY

In July, 1996, Catherine decided to develop a Dance Arts program in her Brooklyn community after a few years of teaching foundational modern dance classes in Astoria, Queens. From 1996 through present, SoulFelt's ministry has been sustained by the hand of God. The ministry is funded by the nominal teaching/workshop fees, love donations and Catherine's personal income.

One of the early inspirations of the program was to provide neighborhood youth with easy access to explore formal dance training in a fun and nurturing environment with minimal cost to the parents.

Catherine began taking dance classes in junior high school and went on to pursue Modern Dance at the High School of Performing Arts where she graduated. She then entered Marymount Manhattan College (Business major) and shortly thereafter completed Long Island University's Paralegal Studies program. 

Catherine continued taking drop-in modern and ballet classes at Joffrey Ballet School and NY Dance Space in Manhattan. In the Fall, 2003 she entered a Creative Arts Therapy program at The New School University in Manhattan with a focus on Dance Movement Therapy. Catherine also served for 1 year on the Dance Panel for the Brooklyn Arts Council.

Since late 2005, when Catherine married and moved to Massachusetts to be with her husband, the Lord has continued to cause her gifts to "make room for her"; connecting her with many who support the calling of God on her life; and who are also persevering to worship God in Spirit and Truth through Christ Jesus...

Catherine continueds to maintain her secular vocation working in the corporate law sector.



4/08 - I was told how powerful my movements were - I acknowledged you [Catherine and SoulFelt].. because you have taught me more than dance, you've taught me what the ministry is all about - and I thank you!

Thank you Catherine! It is my honor and pleasure to be part of the outreach group! As you know, this is something that I have wanted to do for ages and finally my dream comes true! Thank God for bringing you to Boston and starting this group!

(Re: 5/14/05 dance concert) I was blessed to the fullest. I was so proud of my daughter and just thanking God for letting our path cross again. My girlfriend wants to also send her daughter. I just can't stop talking about it!
