Kendra Harrington – Director

Kendra Harrington began teaching 15 years ago under the direction of Veda Burton.  She was taught that incorporating fun into the art of dance was the best way to inspire young dancers.  After 7 years of teaching and choreographing for some of the best dancers in the nation, she started her own dance studio...Dolce Dance.  Her goal is to "Aspire to Inspire"!  She believes in teaching her students to dream big and believe in themselves.  "Dance as if no one is watching" is one of her favorite sayings.  Kendra's students have won numerous high point awards and have been recognized many times on the national level. She herself has won countless choreography awards. Kendra's love and commitment to dance is shown in every class she teaches and to every student that she teaches. Kendra's gift for dance has led her to a successful career in dance instruction and choreograpy. After two years of running a buisness and trying to give her all as a teacher, she realized she would rather focus on her students. Kendra sold the studio and remained the director of dance for Dolce Dance Studio. She is now able to devote herself to her students and the art of dance. Kendra feels she can make every child a star by giving them the proper training, love, and encouragement necessary to help each student reach their full potential.
