This quote from one of our Creative Movement ballerina’s grandparents best describes Ms. Kristen’s teaching abilities:

“I was VERY impressed with Ms. Kristen’s ability to corral a room full of very active little girls… I liken it to herding cats!  Bravo Ms. Kristen… perhaps there should be a “St.” in front of her name!!”    - Anne Jacobs
