Interview with dance star Kate Wormald
| StarNow: | Kate Wormald is one of Australia’s favourite female dancers, making it to the top 3 and being the final girl standing in the premiere series of So You Think You Can Dance. Kate has been dancing professionally for over 15 years and is one of the most experienced, versatile and respected dancers in the country.
Can you tell us about yourself Kate? How did you get your start in the industry?
| | Kate Wormald: | I trained on the Gold Coast at Robert Sturrocks and have been dancing professionally since I was 15yrs old. I loved doing theatre cabarets, corporates and other variety shows with Robert and I really think it was great training for being versatile in the years to come. |
| StarNow: | What inspired you to become a dancer? | | Kate Wormald: | I have been dancing since I was 3 years old. I honestly think I was born to dance as I have always wanted to do it and had a burning desire and passion to do it since my first class. I have never wanted to do anything else and get an incredible rush from dancing. |
| StarNow: | What are some of your career highlights so far? | | Kate Wormald: | I think my first career highlight would be working with Kelley Abbey and David Atkins on FAME the musical 12 yrs ago. It was my first big show and I was in awe of them both and the show. I also had to pinch myself assisting and dancing for Wade Robson on the opening piece of Happy Feet 2. He was a true joy and inspiration to work with. Working in London I also had a wonderful time performing for the Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry and dancing for Jamelia, Leona Lewis, Ke$ha, Gabriella Cilmi and Charlotte Church to name a few. I also loved my experience on So You Think You Can Dance series 1. It was amazing to be a part of such a large dance project in Australia and it gave me a great opportunity to work with some incredible choreographers from other genres that I may not have crossed paths with if I hadn’t gone in it (Jason Gilkison, Debbie Ellis, etc). |
