Ep. 161- Kim McSwain
Topics covered in this episode:
In this episode Kim and I talk about the The Moments that have changed her, both personally and professionally. We discuss the roles and lines we hold as dance educators, what Lance Bass said about her husband, and of course explore her evolution of leadership and how she builds her confidence in areas she is not yet an expert. Kim is a powerhouse and deep well of dance knowledge - there isn’t a role she hasn’t had in the dance community and you will feel it through this conversation.

As a teacher, Kim first joined Adrenaline on the convention circuit before being picked up by the largest dance convention in the world, JUMP. For six years, Kim taught everything from ballet and jazz to hip-hop, interacting with thousands of students a week. After that experience, Kim joined NUVO as the Children’s Director. Focusing on technical development, she gained a reputation for inspiring young dancers to be more than excellent performers, but also excellent people.
The longer she taught, the more other instructors wanted to learn from Kim. In city after city, Kim’s teacher seminars drew huge crowds as she motivated countless instructors to be the best educator and role model they could be for their students. Additionally, many of her own students have gone on to achieve incredible success, working with some of the most talented artists in the dance and film industry.
These experiences led Kim to retire from the convention circuit to focus on the success of her unique Changing Lives program. Kim now travels across the country, working directly with studios to educate their faculty and implement her teaching philosophy, along with speaking engagements, parent seminars, and business consulting.
