l<yist.i $Wl it.i, Hi 9h Owner/Director Mrs. Kristi has been sharing her love for dance with students for over 15 years during which time she has instructed hundreds of dancers, She has been there to guide many of her dancers into successful dance careers, including college programs, teaching positions, choreographers, and work as professional dancers. Kristi believes in the principles of providing KAD dancers with a strong foundation in both technique and performance ability, thereby creating versatile, well trained dancers that are successful in any genre of dance. Starting at the age of 2 she has trained extensively in ballet, jazz, lyrical, and tap, as well as acrobatics, porns, and cheerleading. Ms Kristi has years of previous experience as a competitive and professional dancer, gymnast and cheerleader, as well as having performed in many stage productions and musicals. Her credits include being a former National All American Cheerleader with both the National and Universal Cheerleading Associations (NCA/UCA) as well as with the Fellowship of Christian Cheerleaders. As she completed her High School years, she was ranked as one of the Top 5 Cheerleaders in the Nation by NCA and Top 3 with FCC. She went on to staff with both the National Cheer and Dance Association and head camps with FCC. Kristi was recruited by a number of college cheer teams and was blessed to start out at MU Cheer under the direction of Ms Suzy Thompson and later transitioned to the University of Kansas, under the direction of Cathy J arzemkowski, where she cheered for 4 years and served as Captain for two. In 2002, Ms Kristi graduated from the University of Kansas with a minor in Dance while majoring in Elementary Education. Additionally Ms Kristi has danced and cheered professionally as a member of teams that represented the St Louis Rams, KC Minute Men and Kansas City Wizards. She attends conventions and workshops through the United States each year to continue her dance education. Ms Kristi has studied and trained with some of the top names in the industry including: Debbie Allen, Frank Hatchett, Gus Giodarno, Steven Boyd, Mia Micheals, Cathy Roe, Bob Rizzo, Finis Jung, Denise Wall, Desiree Robbins and many many more! Ms Kristi has directed KAD's K COMP ANY COMPETITION TEAM through twelve successful seasons. As director, her Company has grown to over 50 talented members, and has won many regional and national titles. Her choreography has won numerous regional and national awards, including several top petite and junior choreography awards, and teen and senior top entertainer titles at competitions in the past seasons. Under her direction, the company has traveled to compete and perform around the KC Metropolitan Area, at Halftime of the Harlem, The Kauffman Center of Performing Arts, The Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Walt Disney World, Branson, MO and the Wisconsin Dells. The company and its dancers have been invited to dance in New York, Las Vegas, Holl yw ood, Chicago, The Dance Awards and more. In addition Kristi has also successfully implemented the HiFLIGHT ATHELTICS cheerleading program at KAD where the team has won numerous titles and national championships in the last 5 years. The studio also now offers a wonderful drama and music department, featuring piano, a vocal instructor and acting classes. Under her direction, the studio has developed a beautiful annual Nutcracker performance, which over the past 5 years has grown to a cast of over 60 dancers. Each December, KAD has entertained dance lovers from the local and surrounding areas with its charming rendition of a classic holiday favorite. Kristi prides herself on providing a family-friendly studio environment, and fulfilling dancers' dreams of performing by ensuring that they receive training from the best teachers the area has to offer. All instructors at KAD are talented professionals who have the ability to inspire excellence from all of their students. She is extremely proud of the place that KAD has become, and strives for an even brighter future for the studio and all of the students who call KAD home. When she's not in the studio, Ms Kristi can be found judging and choreographing for high schools, colleges and regional and national competitions. Most recently she had the honor of judging for the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 KU Cheer Teams. She is also proud to have spent the last couple of years as the choreographer for the Debutante Ball sponsored by the Mu Omega chapter Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority where, as a soror, she is pleased to give back her time and talent. Ms Kristi is married to Kareem, who can be seen helping around the studio and sharing his time as a conditioning and cheer coach. They're proud parents to Kaleb who is involved in dance classes and gymnastics classes at the studio. Ms Kristi owes her life success to her AMAZING parents Virgil and Joyce Smith, who are both very involved in the day to day studio operations and studio life. She thanks them for not only providing her with opportunities some only dream of but for instilling both a strong work ethic and a belief in our Lord Jesus Christ that with his help we can do anything we want in life! Ms Kristi's life verse is Phillipians 4:13 - "I can to all things through CHRIST who strengthens me"
