    Katherine Carrera | Quitting the Bank for Dance, Heels & Building a Studio in Trinidad - TJS 91

    Katie worked at a bank with a dance career as her plan B until a former teacher stopped her one day and asked what her legs were doing behind a counter. She talks about training in New York, the sub class that accidentally introduced her to heels, coming home to teach it when nobody in Trinidad was, and the backlash that followed. Why a professional dancer keeps her house completely silent, what four hours of staring at a chair looks like and the difference between sensuality and sleaziness. Underneath it all, it's about building something for women in a place that wasn't asking for it.Follow Us:Katie C :Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiec2102/?hl=enTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katiec2102Youtube:  @KatieC2102  HeelingQueens :Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/heelingqueens/?hl=enThe Jabari Show Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejabarishowTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejabarishow_Jabari MInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jabari_matthewTwitter: https://twitter.com/jibrimatthewYouTube: @jabarimatthew4638 Jabari DInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jabaridavid/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jabaridavid_YouTube: @jabaridaviid 0:00 – Intro: wearing green on a green couch2:47 – TikTok vs Instagram and being authentic online4:32 – Meet Katie5:12 – Catherine or Katie?
