About Stage7

Founded in 1973 by Estelle Mahy, Stage 7 has been under the direction of Kathryn Irey since 1983. Kathryn Irey’s work has earned respect nationally for its cutting-edge concepts and techniques. She encourages high professional standards among the faculty, students and guest teachers. Stage 7 School of Dance has launched a number of emerging independent choreographers and hosted workshops for leaders in theater and ethnic dance.

"Through the medium of dance Kathryn cultivates communities of life-long learners, while developing the students’ critical thinking skills, and expanding students’ abilities to wield complex concepts and patterns."

- Steiner | Math Teacher UCSD/ Choreographer

"In my capacity as director of Arts Are Basic I have observed Ms. Irey teach and direct seminars in many locations across our nation. She is, in my estimation, one of the finest arts educators with whom I am acquainted."

- Kit Voorhees | Institute for Arts Ed.

"Kathryn Irey’s dancing was an exquisite embodiment of both frailty and strength with delicacy of movement and beautiful line. She is one of those dancers of whom you cannot quite say where one motion ends and the next begins.”

- John Willett | SD Magazine
