In this episode of Step Up Your Studio, we welcome industry veteran Kim McSwain, founder of KM Agency and longtime educator, choreographer, and mentor to dancers and teachers alike.
From touring with Britney Spears and Michael Jackson to becoming a leading voice in teacher training and studio consulting, Kim shares how a career-ending injury led her to discover her greatest gift: teaching young dancers with heart and intention.
She dives into:
- What studios often miss when it comes to teacher hiring
- How to reach and uplift every child, even the “hard to reach”
- Creating a classroom culture rooted in being seen, valued, and challenged
- Turning passion into purpose and building a healthy, thriving studio
With honesty, warmth, and years of experience, Kim reminds us what really matters in dance education, and how small shifts in mindset and communication can change everything.
