Kate VanAkker

Recreational Gymnastics Coach

Coach Kate was born and raised in Michigan where she did competitive dance and traditional Cecchetti Ballet from ages 3—18. She has performed with the Moscow Ballet, choreographed three community theatre musicals and was a coach at her dance studio for six years.

Since graduating high school in 2017, Kate has been fortunate enough to not only to travel to but also live in Hawaii, Washington State and now Florida. Florida is like a second home to Kate as her family are big Disney fans and growing up she visited nearly every summer.

Kate is currently attending school in pursuance of a B.A. in Child and Adolescent Psychology, with plans to achieve a MA and PhD to become a youth psychiatrist.

In her spare time, she enjoys working out, shopping, playing the piano and going on adventures with her dog, Julie.
