What Makes This Program Unique?
The KickStart Instructor Training (KIT) Program aims to empower individuals with knowledge, training, and resources to become impactful dance instructors that make a positive contribution to the dancing community. The KIT Program was created to fill the need for knowledgeable and experienced dance instructors by providing up-to-date educational courses and training for all instructional levels, creating opportunities for instructor growth through an Apprenticeship Program, and paving a supportive path to a credentialed career in dance instruction.
Instruction
The KIT Program offers 2 full educational training series: Line Dance Instructor Training and Partner Dance Instructor Training. Each Series is broken down into sequential courses that build from a strong foundation rooted in fundamentals to an enlightened path exploring advanced concepts.

The KIT Apprenticeship Program serves to provide opportunities for instructors to gain invaluable industry experience by applying concepts learned in training to real world dance environments alongside industry professionals.

Certification is awarded to those who complete a full instructor training series and participate in at least one role within the KIT Apprenticeship Program (or submit videos of requested demonstrations of instruction). Upon receiving certification, those individuals will be recognized as KickStart Credentialed Instructors within the KIT National Network of Instructors.
Network
With the overall goal of making a positive contribution to the dancing community, the KickStart National Network of Instructors serves to mentor other instructors as well as fill the need for knowledgeable dance instruction in our communities.
Our education-based training and interactive-focused guidance (with ongoing Apprenticeship support), we hope to raise the bar on what it means to be a KickStart Credentialed Dance Instructor and set an industry standard of Instructor service.
Great Curriculum and Instruction
Adia is positive, empowering, and patient. She helps me feel at ease in every workshop and private lesson and teaches dancing in a way that is organized, digestible, and fun! She is always making a positive impact on the community with her curriculum and her personality!
Learning from Adia has not only benefited my dancing but has helped me build the life of my dreams!

Good Instruction is Essential
The instructor course is absolutely phenomenal and has a lot of details and a lot on the personal approach on how to teach line dancing, couples dancing, as well as really respecting the choreography. Positive environment, great people to work with, and great connections.
One thing that I really learned through the course is that good teaching is essential to make people feel comfortable.
If you wanna become a line dance or country swing instructor this is the place to be.

So EASY to Learn From
I attended a weekend with Adia in Feb of 2023. Although it was over six months ago, her straight forward and easy instructions allowed me to REMEMBER the moves and concepts easily. The ease with which she demonstrates the moves and concepts also allowed for easy implementation.
I look forward to taking more classes with her.

It Just Took ONE Lesson!
Can we just take a minute and discuss how AHHHMAZING Adia is? We took our first dance lesson in December and after our first lesson we were already COMFORTABLE dancing. If you are considering dance lessons I would 100% take them with Adia, you won't regret it!

From No Clue to CONFIDENT!
Adia is a PHENOMENAL dance instructor. I came into the country line dance scene with NO CLUE what I was doing and after just a handful of lessons with her, my CONFIDENCE level shot through the roof. Highly recommend Adia.
