Venue Information

THE FREDGREN STUDIO THEATRE. Together with her husband Ken, Kathryn Fredgren founded the Arlington Center for Dance and The Center Dance Company in 1981 (now known as BalletNova Center for Dance). Kathryn was known as an extraordinary and inspiring teacher, and created a dance training center highly respected throughout the Washington DC region. Her approach toward the arts as a way to improve our world, and her attitude that you have to train the whole person not just the body to make a dancer, is carried through today at BalletNova. Kathryn was the recipient of the 2014 Arts Achievement Award by the Arts Council of Fairfax County.
