Katherine Hill

Katherine is a USFS double gold medalist in moves in the field and and freestyle and an international figure skating choreographer.
She is a PSA Senior rated choreographer
She has been working as a full-time creative for over 10 years.
She choreographs for singles and dance elite figure skaters out of the US Olympic Training Site in Colorado Springs, CO and around the world.
When not working with competitive athletes, she and her husband, Ben Agosto, choreograph for international stage, television, and film productions (Cirque du Soleil, Canadian Broadcast Company, etc) and most recently one of the fight sequences working with Jordan from OnIcePerspectives as well as a massive, amazing stunt team for the new movie Argylle.
Her clients range from Olympic competitors (including Amber Glenn) and international entertainment companies to advertising agencies and everyone in between.
She combines her time in theater, sport, academia, and business to facilitating inspiring experiences for others- audiences, performers, students, or teams- and absolutely loves the feeling of creating something from scratch. I think everyone deserves a creative outlet and count myself lucky to be a part of someone else’s creative discovery.
