Finally, we have Coach Rikki Lien! 🤩
Years with JFK: I started dancing at Just For Kix in Brainerd at age 6, working as camp staff and instructor at age 15 and this will be year #25 as director of West Fargo JFK. This is also my final year directing, as I'm stepping down and Jadyn Wehlage will be taking over.
What I'm coaching this season: I'm thrilled to be back coaching Twinklers, Mini Lyrical and Starmakers this season and so excited to coach Middle Lyrical and Shooting Stars technique!
What I'm looking forward to this season: I always look forward to the small victories we make in class. The ones that not everyone might notice. The Tiny Kix who can finally go into the studio on their own confidently, the dancer who was afraid to perform but goes out there anyway and realizes how fun it is! The dancer who gets a skill they have been working on and feels so proud of themselves. The victories at competition are great, but as a staff, we get to see dozens of victories each week.
Favorite part of West Fargo JFK: My favorite part is the relationships built with dancers, dance families and our coaching staff.
Favorite snack combo: Cheetos
West Fargo JFK is so grateful so all your hard work, love, and talent you have poured into the dancers and families all these years! We love Miss Rikki!
