Kristen, originally from Georgia, has called San Francisco home since 2005. A lifelong dancer, she holds an AA in Dance and Performance Arts, along with certifications in Classical Dance and Dance Aerobics and Fitness from CCSF. Specializing in modern, contemporary, jazz, and musical theater, Kristen has performed with multiple ensembles since 2014 and currently dances with the CCSF Dance Repertory Company.

For Kristen, dance is both therapy and a spiritual practice. She also finds Pilates to be an integral part of her journey, offering balance, joy of movement, and fostering mental and physical strength. Kristen has developed a unique jumpboard reformer class that combines challenging exercises with exciting choreography, designed to inspire and engage Pilates students.
