PATTI KIKTA
Birthday: May 9th
DANCE BACKGROUND
Graduated from the North Carolina School of the Arts with a BFA. I studied at the School of American Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Joffrey and with many former dancers.
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
I have had the privilege of teaching at the Thomas Studio for the past 38 years. Over the years watching dancers progress and achieve their dreams has always made me happy and proud. Ballet is not learned in one easy lesson so my goal is to teach with repetition and continue to introduce new techniques as the dancers are ready.
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
-
My favorite place is the ocean. Love being surrounded by its beauty and especially when I’m sharing it with my family!
