Dive deep with our guest, Mrs Kennedy, who created a Dance Education Program in a small town High School.  Her passion for dance led her to get her undergraduate degree at the University of the Arts in Pa, as a Jazz Dance Major.  She went into her college career as a dancer who wanted to perform, someone who never saw herself as a High School Teacher.  
After a supportive career, she had to learn to accept her 5'1 1/2 stature which limited her performance jobs and stalled her auditions.
Listen and learn how this dancer turned educator took a positive twist on the auditions that she was cut from, and how she uses her capabilities of her experiences to support her dancers in the high school classes.

Our first KBC Podcast with an amazing guest and co-host, Miss Barbara Parren .

Her journey of over 40years of dance studio ownership will inspire you to take the leap of faith into the unknown. Her journey to being a pioneer woman in business didn't start out with pure joy.  As a young teacher and co-owner of a studio, her business partner passed away and turned her world completely inside out. With passion and joy, and a desire to continue, she forged through, creating a powerful dance studio in operation for over 40 years before turning it over to her daughter, another powerhouse and podcast guest.
Her studio has traveled internationally, performed and won creative and choreographic awards, has had dancers go on into teaching dance at the collegiate level and choreograph and dance with professional sports teams. Get inspired with Miss Barb, and remember, sometimes the hardships that we live through, gives us the push we need.
