Biography: Kyle has not always been an amazing dancer. Prior to dancing, he was in the Marine Corps and has since used this knowledge to help his dancing continue to improve and to help clearly convey corrections to his students. Kyle started his professional dancing career in 2021 and has risen to become a United States Professional Open American 9-Dance Competitor. He makes dance lessons fun and easy for those who are just starting out their dance journey, as well as training high level amateur competitors.
