Beginning Ballet Program Instructors

Kristin Hurst is a lifelong student of dance. She has studied a range of dance forms including ballet, jazz, modern, contemporary, and Latin dance, but classical ballet has always held a special place in her heart. She has three years of experience teaching ballet to students of all ages and skill levels.

As an adult, Kristin has danced recreationally and performed with studios across the country, an activity that has consistently brought joy and meaning to her life. She is excited for the opportunity to share her love of dance with other adults who are ready to embark on their own dance journey.

Laura Haldorson grew up immersed in movement, participating in a wide range of sports, including gymnastics and dance. With nearly a decade of experience, she has taught various dance styles—Ballet, Lyrical, Acrobatics, Hip Hop, Jazz, and Competitive dance—as well as fitness classes such as Barre, Aerobics, Stretching, and Core Workouts for all ages, including adults.

She has worked in both group and one-on-one settings, fostering confidence and positive movement experiences. As a Certified Behaviorist, Laura understands the importance of creating a supportive learning environment. Additionally, her certifications in Reiki and holistic health allow her to integrate mindfulness into her teaching, promoting both physical and emotional well-being.
