About KASM

KASM Dance Collective is a quartet of like-minded, multidimensional modern dance artists. Our dances are co-choreographed and our collective is co-led. Our work is inspired by our lives and the world around us. We seek to create relatable, engaging, contemplative, and fun works. We are excited to present the 24th annual Dances At The Lake concert this summer!

Members Katy Becker, Allie Retterath, Sarah Hauss, and McKayla Murphy Zelaya and have been working together as a group since 2020. Read more about each of us below.
