MEET THE MENTOR: KIM MCSWAIN (CEO) TECHNIQUE, JAZZ

Having studied, taught, and performed extensively, Kim’s training and technical expertise shine through all of her classes and choreography. But it’s her contagious energy and compassion for each and every student that sets Kim apart in the industry.

Kim began training at 3 years old. From the very start, she loved every second of dance. By age 8 she was training in ballet 30 hours a week, and at 12 years old she received 3rd at the National Tap Event sponsored by Gregory Hines. In fact, Mr. Hines was so impressed with Kim that he traveled to her studio in Dallas to give her private lessons.

At 24 years old, Kim moved to L.A. where she quickly achieved success as a sought-after dancer, booking jobs with Britney Spears, N’Sync, Michael Jackson, among many others. Despite her success, Kim felt drawn to teaching and soon decided to focus her career strictly on training dancers. As she often says, “It only takes a second to make a child feel special and maybe change their life… and from there that child could someday change the world.”
