Kristen Bennett
Creative Movement, Contemporary, Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Hip Hop, Musical Theatre

Kristen Bennett graduated from Grand Valley State University with a B.A. in English Language and Literature with a minor in dance. During her years at Grand Valley she choreographed and danced with Grand Valley's Dance Troupe. In 2006, two of her pieces were featured in Ann Arbor Civic Ballet's Emerging Choreographers Showcase. She taught at Superior Dance Academy in Marquette, and has returned to her hometown of Mt. Pleasant and is excited to be teaching again. She was a student at the Academy of Performing Arts all through high school, and is happy to find herself part of such a dance family. She teaches at Alma College as well as Vision in Mt. Pleasant. She is also certified in Zumba. She looks forward to another year sharing her love of dance with the students.
