Kyla Rene'
@kylarene
Dedicated dance educator with a passion for mental health counseling.
What I'm looking for
My journey in the performing arts began with a BFA in dance from Jacksonville University, where I honed my skills in various dance techniques under the guidance of esteemed instructors. I have been fortunate to perform in numerous concerts and collaborate with talented choreographers, which has enriched my artistic expression and deepened my love for dance.
Transitioning into teaching, I have spent over a decade nurturing young dancers at various schools, including Inez Patricia School of Dance and The Center for Contemporary Dance. My experience spans across ballet, contemporary, and modern dance, where I focus on technique and creativity. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Capella University, aiming to integrate my passion for dance with mental health support.
