Our History

A Time To Dance in Montrose, Colorado is a growing studio under the direction of Catherine Frates.

Catherine has been dancing since she was three years old. She grew up in North Carolina and danced in a studio that was owned by her grandmother for more than 50 years.

Equally as important, as a parent of two dancing daughters, Catherine is well aware of the multi-dimensional nature of the environment and relationships surrounding a high-quality dance studio. Knowing the experiences her students will have can often create life-long memories, Catherine invests herself in each and every student she welcomes into A Time To Dance studio.
