ABOUT holly

I began dancing at a young age with a fitness focus right along side from college days to current. From dance teams to private studio work, convention and competition; as a dancer and teacher it feels like I've covered it all. I love my time choreographing and I am always up for a dance party! Movement is where it's at to stay healthy mind, body and soul!!!

I am also a mom and wife to my super, wonderful, crazy family. I love the ocean, with the Outer Banks and Maui among my top places to visit. Music is the best part of any day and so necessary. I love all kinds of genres, and my home is full of budding musicians.

about sadie

I was kicked out of gymnastics at the age of 3 because I wouldn't stay on my carpet square. My parents crossed their fingers and put me in my first dance class. They gave me tap shoes and it was love at first step. I’ve trained in a variety of styles, but tap is my absolute favorite. Who doesn't love making noise with their feet?! I grew up dancing competitively in the Kansas City area and I graduated from University of Saint Mary with a bachelor’s degree in Theater. Outside of teaching in a classroom I’ve choregraphed for local community theatre productions, high school/college dance teams, fundraisers, weddings and co-founded summer theatre programs. I feel blessed to be a part of the DFF community!

By day I’m an event coordinator for Nebraska Furniture Mart and enjoy working on projects that involve the community. When I’m not dancing or planning events you can find me spending all my money on books, loving on my old man pit bull, and having board game nights with my family.

In college, I spent 4 years on the Augustana University Dance Team where I cheered on the football and basketball sidelines and was honored to be a part of team leadership for 3 years. AU dance focused on jazz, pom, and hip hop styles and opened the door to new dance opportunities that brought me down to KC where I have found my home at Dance Fit Flow and continue my love for dance by teaching and taking classes.

I have a little orange tabby cat named Bagel who is my entire world. I also enjoy reading, particularly the series 'The Hunger Games,' and love watching the book-to-movie adaptations.

ABOUT jake

From competitive swimming lanes to dance club reigns, my fitness journey started in the pool and found its rhythm on the dance floor (where I perfected my signature moves). Now I channel that athletic background and natural groove into creating dynamic fitness classes that prove you don't need a formal dance background to lead an energizing workout - just a passion for movement and a killer playlist.

When I'm not leading classes at Dance Fit Flow, I'm shaping young minds in education by day and experimenting in the kitchen by night (balancing out those workouts with new recipes!). You can usually find me planning my next workout, binge-watching Great British Bake Off, or testing out healthy recipes that fuel both body and mind.

ABOUT Meike

I went on to get my AA in Performing arts from the Young Americans College of Performing Arts in Corona, CA and later got my NASM Group Fitness and Personal Training Certification.

At my day job, I work in local government as an auditor. When at home, I am probably annoying my baby cat, Parsnip. She is the light of my life, and we love going on walks around our neighborhood. She is also a great reading buddy. I also spend a significant amount of time sewing/rhinestoning costumes for myself or other performers (a side hustle to my side hustle?). My friends and I love to go dancing, try new restaurants, and go to any of the various art and culture festivals around KC. I love Mediterranean food (open to recs!) and am on the hunt for the crispest Diet Coke in KC.
