With her wildly popular Instagram Live ballet classes and new children's book, this prima ballerina revels in celebrating your gifts.
Although Katarina is not supposed to be Peck herself, she and Harris infused Katarina with their own traits. “Kyle’s feet turn in and he has crazy, curly hair. And I always felt like a jazz dancer trying to be a ballerina. I never felt like I quite fit in,” says Peck who has been dancing since she was two and got her start at her mother’s dance studio, Bakersfield Dance Company, which her mother still owns. “We wanted Katarina to have this immense love to dance, yet isn’t quite perfect for it.
But Katarina has one thing that you can't teach. “She has a light within her that makes people want to watch her dance,” says Peck. While technique can be taught, love and passion can’t. “The message is for kids to own their unique gifts. That makes you stand out.” Since March, while staying in her family’s home in Bakersfield California, Peck has been sharing her unique gifts in a very special way. From Monday to Saturday at 10amPST/1pmEST she hosts ballet classes via her Instagram Live @tilerpeck Peck often has special guests who have included Jennifer Garner, Sarah Jessica Parker, Debbie Allen, Misty Copeland, Christopher Wheeldon, cellist Wade Davis, who played during an entire ballet barre, including a stunning rendition of “Edelweiss.
Peck makes classes doable for beginners and also creates challenging exercises and combinations more intermediate dancers. She does the classes from her family’s kitchen using the counter as a barre. “I love that people say, ‘I would never have had the courage to come into a ballet class. Here I don't feel that people can judge me,” says Peck. “There are 6 year-olds and younger, moms with their children, 40-year-olds and older, taking ballet for the first time.
