Local grad achieves dream of teaching dance at university level
YIPSILANTI – Not long after she mastered walking, Kristen (Hallberg) Meadows took the next step – and started dancing. And she hasn’t stopped since.
Meadows, a 2005 graduate of Bellaire High School launched her talent as a 4-year-old at Alden Dance Academy and later at Dance Arts Academy in Traverse City. Following graduation, Meadows pursued her passion at Eastern Michigan University, majoring in dance.
Throughout that time she took a special interest in tap, and made it a specialty in college.
Living in Manchester, Michigan with her husband, Darrek, Meadows has been teaching dance for more than a decade while serving as the manager at Dance Steps Studio in nearby Saline.
