Kalli Parkin has been cartwheeling through this world since the age of 2. She started competing in dance at 7 years old. She was able to learn many styles from countless choreographers and teachers. Jazz, tap and tumbling were always her strongest and favorite classes. Kalli also trained and competed in gymnastics at several gyms and she was a cheerleader at Copper Hills High School. Her senior year, Kalli made the switch to Copper Hill’s Dance Company to continue her truest passion and to share the love of dance. In dance company, Kalli found she had an untapped love of modern dance. Kalli later attended SLCC and was a 4 year member of their performing dance company, as well, she served as vice president and president. Dancing and performing may be among Kalli’s passions, but you cannot deny her natural talent in working with kids. She is a kid at heart, and the little ones love her. Kalli knows kids can smell a phony, so she gives her whole heart to every student. She is happy to share her love of dance with her students and to help them grow and learn each day. Her favorite milestone in teaching, is when her youngest students learn to skip. When not at the studio you will probably find her shopping at Target. She also enjoys sunshine, sweet tea, breakfast and camping with her husband, Jeremy and their little dancer, Isadora. Kalli has been teaching for over 18 years.
