Kristi's Forever Dancin' opened in November of 2001.

Kristi began dancing at the age of three and spent her last five years in dance competing with one of California's top
studios, West Coast School of the Arts.  Throughout her competitive years, Kristi was blessed with receiving training
from people who taught with their bodies, their minds and their hearts.  Immediately following her competitive success
in dance Kristi knew she wanted to share her knowledge and passion for the sport with others.  

Kristi’s Forever Dancin' continually sets high goals and expectations for its staff that go beyond teaching strong
technical skills. In fact, we at KFD stress the importance of supporting each other and being respectful and appreciative
of everyone making it possible for one to participate and excel in such a rewarding sport.  When your child has
completed their competition or recreational dancing years at KFD we expect him or her to leave the sport with great
memories and rewarding friendships that will last a lifetime.

We invite you to browse our web site and see how our families experience the importance of bonding and friendships
needed to ensure they have a rewarding competition or recreational experience.  Enjoy our web site and call us when
you are ready to accomplish your goals and be a part of our AWARD WINNING, caring, family.

We all have goals.  But in order to make goals
become reality, it takes an awful lot of
determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.

Kristi and Tish,

Well the 1st competition is over and I was very impressed with the studio so had to let you know.

Brenna and I have spent the past 9 years at what I will always believe is a very good studio.  So, to be honest, when Brenna wanted to change I did struggle with loyalty vs. what might be best for my
daughter.  However, we had seen the dancers from your studio at previous competitions and heard about Kristi's from parents, friends and word-of-mouth.  Kristi's has an excellent reputation and after
seeing the dancers this weekend, (I am definitely no expert but I can appreciate a good routine), I have to say the results beat the reputation by a wide margin!

EVERY dance I saw was precise, clean and crisp.  In fact I mentioned that to a parent sitting behind me after the 12-14 newbie small group finished and then had to laugh when they won the judges
award for that very thing!  From an expert's view you might have a different opinion and I certainly hope the team improves every time, but all I can say for now is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

More importantly, to me anyway, is the no-nonsense, yet caring attitude shown towards the students and the family feeling offered to everyone connected with the studio.  I am also impressed with the
open, faith-based atmosphere.  It is rare to see a company have no fear of discussing its faith or beliefs and I, for one, really appreciate it!

But back to dance.  It is obvious that Kristi and the other teachers/instructors not only care about the students, and it shows, but know the true secret of being a great teacher...Being able to communicate
what they know in a way that is heard and accepted by the student.

Many people are "experts" but one-dimensional because they can't communicate their knowledge and thus are unable to give back in a positive way.

Such is NOT the case at KFD!!!!  Every person I have been in contact with and connected to the studio is one that I would hope my daughter would emulate and if she grows up to be like Kristi, Erica,
Tish or the other instructors, I will be a happy man.

Looking forward to the rest of the year and no matter what happens at competitions, Brenna and I are very happy and blessed to part of the studio and look forward to many years ahead.

Regards,

Mark Showalter
