Kat′s mother is the National Ballet Company′s principal ballerina and her stepfather is an acclaimed choreographer. It′s tough having celebrity parents and in the dance world this is as A-List as it gets. As a result, Kat has no choice but to attend the Academy and pretend she looks pleased about it - which couldn′t be further from the truth. Kat is naturally talented at ballet but finds her hip hop classes much more interesting. Kat′s energy is infectious and her flair for mischief, legendary.

Their parents are proud that the kids are so independent. Kat wishes just once they could be like a normal family. No one would ever guess how insecure she often feels...
