Hi! My name is Katie, but I'm better known as The Girl with the Tree Tattoo. I'm a dancer and writer with two fur babies. My mission with my blog and published books is to inspire and motivate my fellow dancers to connect with who they truly are, so they can perform with greater confidence and joy. I share stories and insights about the good, the bad, and the awkward of the dance journey. I don't want to put the blog behind a paywall, so instead I ask readers to pay what they can, either monthly like you would for a magazine subscription, or just when an article really speaks to you. Your support helps the Girl continue dancing and writing to wherever the adventure leads next.
