Kendra Thompson

She/Her
Early Elementary and Dance Teacher

I have been teaching dance around the West Michigan area for over 20 years. This includes high school musicals, high school marching bands and dance teams, and dance studio teams and classes. My most recent performance experience was playing Madame de la Grande Bouche in a local production of Broadway’s Beauty and the Beast. I wore a real dresser! I have a degree in secondary education and an MA in English Literature. When I am not teaching high school or dance classes, I love playing board games and traveling with my family. I’m incredibly excited to be teaching at Civic! The creative and supportive environment here is unparalleled.
