"Kirsten taught a workshop for our students and teachers this February, and it was incredible! Everyone was inspired and challenged by her classes and especially her seminar on confidence. She gave tangible tools to help better prepare both our students and teachers achieve their goals. Kirsten has a way of combining both her personal dance experience along with her coach training which sheds a new light on a dancer's world. We are grateful for her time and look forward to having her back!"
- Bethany Sleebos, Owner of Suzanne's School of Dance
In addition to providing powerful workshops for the dancers’ minds, I am also available to teach ballet classes to intermediate or advanced dancers. The information I share in my ballet classes helps dancers to further assimilate the strategies for creating mindset shifts I share with them in the workshops.
