Love Notes from Dancers, Studio Owners, Teachers & Parents
This page is in rehearsals still...we'll have all your testimonials up soon so check back!
Jaclyn Augustyn Smith
DanceTouch Collective Administrative Director/ CORE Movement Owner
I continue to be amazed by her ability to inspire young artists (and not so young artists, too!). It's difficult to find a total package; heart, talent, reliability. Kim is all of those qualities and then some. My students LOVE the personal connection: the light heartedness about her instruction has brought my quietest students to the front line, more willing than ever to TRY. My strongest dancers have found new approaches to their art form and enhanced performance qualities!
All in all, Kim is at the top of our list for guest artists, I'm honored to have her as a dancer in our community and friend."
Anna Timmons
Seaside Dance Academy Instructor
Hi Kimberly. I just wanted to thank you for letting me sit in and watch you choreograph on Thursday night. I love how all the movement slowly pieced together and told stories. Don't ever forget that seaside loves you :) we all look forward to your next visit! And your showcase was absolutely amazing tonight!
Jackie Lien Hanson
Spotlight Productions Instructor
As a dance teacher you always want what's best for your students. You want them to progress year by year, month by month, piece by piece. You want them to understand that dance isn't all about the trophy and prize at the end. It's about all the feelings that go into the process of getting there; that once they start to let go a little and dance outside of their comfort zone, that's when the magic happens.
Kimberly Fitch drives this philosophy home to each dancer that she teaches. Her style is positive and motivating with an emphasis on moving from within. Our dancers were thrilled when they heard Kimberly would be a part of our Summer in10sive. Her energy is contagious and something any parent and studio would want to influence their children and dancers.

What makes Kimberly stand out from other teachers...Is the LOVE! She just is a brilliant Educator. Not only does she have a profound understanding of her craft but it's her unique ability to deliver the material.she has such a joyfulness about her (no matter) the situation. That happiness is contagious! It carries over into her class dance room. It's that love of people (all ages) mixed with that passion of dance that makes her so wonderful! It's just very natural for her to connect with her students because it's all from the heart. She captivates the student and at the same time she inspires while being very patient. Her knowledge, hunger and passion for people and dance are very uplifting and encouraging to her students...and their teachers! Kimberly truly knows how to use every natural God given gift God has given her. In this day and age of the ever changing dance revolution... Kimberly holds a special and rare quality. She does not just throw the material at kids, but delivers it to them wrapped up with love, kindness and patience! She truly is an exellent educator and person! Kimberly Fitch, the person, is what makes her stand out in the world of dance educators. I personally highly recommend her for your next dance experience!

I don't know how much of me you remember but I have a little story for you. Many years ago I did a convention in Wisconsin...I was not very good at ALL then but during the convention you noticed me and had me go in every group. Long story short, you showed an interest in me as a dancer and that really changed my life. That was the turning point for my dancing. Right now I am away at college studying under LINES ballet. Thank you for showing interest in me and being an influence in changing my life!

"Kimberly is not only a brilliant choreographer with fresh and innovative movement, but she is a personable, thoughtful, and experienced person and dancer. She has personally brought me to a higher level of dance and her wise advice on the dance industry has gotten me to where I am today. I am thankful to know Kimberly and have the opportunity to take her fun and inspiring classes. She makes sure class is fun and instructive for all ages, with a guarenteed challenge you need to strive to perfect. Kimberly is a strong figure with personality that you will not forget."
Much love,

Kimberly.
I have met a lot of master teachers over the 5 years I have been in dance. You are the one I admire the most. I can remember walking into your master class like it was just yesterday. You had this amazing energy and love for teaching that I have never seen before. You moved the whole room with your fun upbeat teaching style. I was 10 years old when I met you. All I could think of when I walked out of your class is I want to be just like you when I grow up. I still feel that today. I would love to be a master teacher and travel the world and share my love for dance like you get to. I can only hope I can be as an amazing dancer as you are someday. Thank you for being a part of my life and my love of dancing!

Hey Kimberly I just want to say that I absolutely loved your Contemporary and Hip Hop Master Classes from Virginia Beach Nationals! They were so great, me and my World of Dance friends are still doing them at the studio.

Dear Kimberly, Thank you so much for coming to Core and giving us the two day workshops. I had so much fun and I will never forget the experience for as long as I live. You inspired me to become a driven, dedicated, and most of all a more passionate dancer than ever before. Thank you.
Love xoxo

Kimberly Fitch helped me so much with my solo and group dances! She came to our studio and worked with us on our competition dances! It was a lot of fun working her; She made me feel really comfortable and had really good corrections. She not only told me corrections but, she told me why I needed to do them that way and physically moved my body to the correct positions which helped a lot! It was a lot of fun working with her and I can't wait to do it again!
