Teaching
Kristi has spent the past 10 years teaching throughout the tristate area both in person and virtually. She has honed in on her unique teaching style through numerous certifications and work both inside the studio as an educator and as a performing artist herself. Her classrooms are high energy, encouraging, safe spaces for students to learn and grow as artists.

Classes include drills to improve tumbling and limbering skills allowing students to excel on and off the mat.
