Event Director

Starting at the young age of 4, Kendra embarked on a journey of physical expression through cheerleading and tumbling, eventually honing her skills to become a skilled gymnastics instructor. As she grew older, her passion for movement expanded as she discovered partner dancing, specializing in East Coast Swing and Lindy Hop during her college years. However, it was in 2010 that Kendra found her true calling, West Coast Swing.

Under the guidance of esteemed coach Brennar Goree, Kendra embarked on a competitive journey that saw her rise swiftly through the ranks. Within a mere two years, she achieved remarkable success, reaching the coveted All-Star division. Throughout her 16-year journey in West Coast Swing, Kendra has presented two Rising Star routines and her passion for growth has remained undiminished.

Beyond the competitive realm, Kendra’s dance journey took on a unique dimension as she explored her individual style. With an innate ability to interpret the nuances of music, she effortlessly weaves her personal flair into every movement, with her expressive storytelling and a connection to the music. As an instructor, Kendra now imparts her profound knowledge and infectious love for West Coast Swing to aspiring dancers, both nationally and internationally.
