Rate My Professor KT Huckabee

In her tenure, Huckabee founded the Allied Motion Dance Company in 1998, a collaborative professional ensemble featuring Penn State Altoona dancers alongside community members and local artists from various disciplines including music, poetry, theatre, and visual arts. The company built a diverse repertory before a hiatus in 2008 and was reformed by Huckabee in 2019 with an inclusive mission to build community through movement, offering opportunities to underrepresented dancers and reviving the Children’s Dance Theatre Workshop in partnership with ArtsAltoona. She also established the Ivyside Dance Ensemble within the Integrative Arts major, directing semester performances that showcase modern, jazz, ballet, and tap choreography, including her own works such as those in the 2019 relaunch concert "Back at Last." Through these endeavors, Huckabee has profoundly shaped dance education, performance, and outreach at Penn State Altoona, emphasizing dance as a universal language that transcends barriers.
