Miss Kim's NEXT Step

A little balancing work during the Acro portion of our intensive this week! 💜

Balance is one of the most important skills a dancer can develop. It builds strength, body awareness, control, stability, confidence, and proper alignment... all of which carry over into turns, leaps, extensions, partnering, and injury prevention.

The quality of a dance program is never determined by a building, a schedule, or even a performance.

It is determined by the people who stand in front of children every week.

At Miss Kim’s and Miss Kim’s NEXT STEP, we have invested heavily in building a ballet faculty that is committed to excellence, consistency, and child development. We believe that every dancer deserves teachers who not only understand ballet technique, but who also know how to inspire confidence, resilience, discipline, and a lifelong appreciation for the arts.

We are especially fortunate to have Anna Zheleznyakova serving as our Artistic Director of Ballet. As a Russian-trained classical ballerina with an extensive professional career, Anna provides leadership for our ballet curriculum, faculty development, and advanced training programs. Her influence extends far beyond the dancers she teaches directly, helping ensure a consistent and progressive ballet education throughout our organization.

Alongside Anna, faculty members Katy Pingleton, Kelly Gilliam, Cricket Foster, and our dedicated ballet team work together to create meaningful training opportunities for dancers at every stage of their journey.

Our ballet pathway includes:

• Ballet at Miss Kim’s (Ages 2–10)
A full-year program focused on building strong foundations, confidence, coordination, and a love of dance.

• Dedicated Ballet at Miss Kim’s (Ages 8–10)
Directed by Katy Pingleton and enhanced with Progressive Ballet Technique (PBT) training led by Kelly Gilliam.

• Traditional Ballet at Miss Kim’s NEXT STEP
A once-weekly ballet and PBT program taught by Cricket Foster.

• Dedicated Ballet at Miss Kim’s NEXT STEP
An advanced training program under the direction of Anna Zheleznyakova for dancers seeking focused ballet education and artistic development.

Providing children with access to exceptional teachers is one of the most important investments we can make in their future. We are proud of the faculty, culture, and training environment we continue to build for the next generation of dancers.

🌟 A Special Shout-Out to Miss Kim’s NEXT STEP Dancer Grace Companion! 🌟

Congratulations to Grace on getting her aerial this past week! 🎉

At just 11 years old, Grace is a dedicated member of our Miss Kim’s NEXT STEP Acro Skills, Technique & Tricks class and our Dedicated Ballet Program. While we are incredibly excited to celebrate this new skill, what makes us even prouder is the work ethic, determination, and commitment she brings to class each and every week.

Skills come from consistent effort, and Grace continues to show that hard work truly pays off. Watching her grow stronger, more confident, and more accomplished as a dancer has been such a joy.

Keep reaching for your goals, Grace—we can’t wait to see what you accomplish next! 💜✨

We would love to have your dancer. 💛

💜 Ages 9–11 are such an important time in a dancer’s journey.

They’re growing, changing, building confidence, forming friendships, and beginning to discover who they are.

Dance provides so much more than steps and choreography. It gives children a place to belong, trusted mentors who believe in them, goals to work toward, and the confidence that comes from achieving something they didn’t think they could do.

As dancers grow, it’s also time to level up. More technique. More strength. More artistry. More opportunities to challenge themselves and discover what they’re capable of.

Whether your dancer loves ballet, acro, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, tap, baton, or dedicated ballet training, there is a place for them here.

Because every child deserves something that helps them grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.

✨ Strong bodies
✨ Strong minds
✨ Strong friendships
✨ Strong confidence

✨ Watching dancers grow is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching.

This year, our Traditional Program dancers at Miss Kim’s NEXT STEP have grown so much... not just in their technique, but in their confidence, friendships, and connection with one another.

Their teacher, Miss Lilly Beaver, is incredibly proud of the dedication and heart these dancers have shown all year long. The progress has been beautiful to watch.

Our Traditional Program is perfect for dancers ages 11–18 who want strong training, great friendships, and exciting performance opportunities in a supportive environment.

And the journey doesn’t stop here…

☀️ Join us this summer for our Summer Dance Sessions & Intensives and keep your dancer growing, moving, and inspired.
