Dancing is a life long passion that began with Jacques Lemay's Jazz dance class at Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Kirsten has since trained in a variety of dance genres: cabaret jazz, lyrical/contemporary, Ballroom/Latin, salsa, country line dance, ballet, Tap and Flamenco - at studios in Winnipeg, Edmonton, Toronto,  Vancouver, and Victoria.  As a "triple threat" performer,  Kirsten has starred in more than thirty musicals across Canada. She was nominated for an Ovation Award Outstanding performance for ALLEYCATS THE MUSICAL - opposite Broadway's Lea Delaria and Rex Harrington.  Kirsten has also choreographed for musical theatre, and taught dance in the Kinesiology Program at York University.  Kirsten discovered Victoria's Passion & Performance studio in 2019 and has found great joy training and performing with this company. She also takes class at Raino Dance, Rhythm & Soul, Broken Rhythms workshops and Paul Becker Masterclass (2024). Kirsten teaches First Dance Wedding Choreography & Lessons thru P&P: info at:  Weddings (YYJ) – Passion & Performance (passionandperformance.com)
