Dance With M and K

MEET MICHELLE: I've been dancing most of my life! I was a member of a small performing ballet company growing up. When I got to college, I missed dancing and sought out ways to get back into it. My sorority had the opportunity to join forces with the amazing ladies of Delta Sigma Theta, who coached us on a step team. We ended up winning first place in our university-wide competition! I then started taking Zumba classes at my college gym for fun, and I absolutely fell in love! I got certified to teach back in 2014 and have had a blast experimenting with different dance styles, choreo, and music ever since. When I moved to California in 2018, I met the amazing Edyta Saltsman through her Zumba class, and she encouraged me to join her ladies Latin dance team, Latin Pulse Dance. This is where I met Kristie! I love working on my technique and performing with this incredible group of women! Other than dancing, I love to travel with my husband. I am also an elementary school teacher, and I love helping little ones learn how to read. Come dance with us sometime!! MEET KRISTIE: My earliest memories involved dancing! That's all I knew as a kid. I started at 5 years old and continued all the way through college. I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii! I performed with various dance companies, styles including Hip Hop and Jazz. In high school, I studied various styles of Polynesian dance including Tahitian and Hula. I loved performing and being on stage! I took acting and singing lessons, was featured in local commercials, and even auditioned for a pop girl groups! I moved to California when I was 19 and took a break from dance for 10 years! In that time, I met the love of my life and now we have two boys ages 8 and 10. In 2017, I found the Latin Pulse Dance team, which is where I met Michelle! Now we have this amazing dance cardio class together! Hope you can join us sometime!
