Ms. Kim Semmel: Owner/Artistic Director

The Dance with Kim studio has been growing with the distinctive energy and spirit of its dancers, teachers and staff. An award-winning choreographer, Ms. Kim’s greatest passion is working in the classroom and building an organization which promotes kindness, teamwork and unity. She hopes that each dancer walks away from their experience at DWK with confidence, self-esteem, memories and most importantly friendship. She has done speaking engagements for fellow dance teachers and business owners and was featured in Dance Life Teacher Magazine about marriage and running a successful dance studio. Ms. Kim continues to further her education in business and dance by attending various certification programs and seminars. She recently completed certifications in progressing ballet technique under the direction Marie Walton, Acrobatic arts under the direction of Mandy Yipp and the International Ballet Barre & fitness association. She attends the Dance Teacher summit in NYC regularly. She is certified through Dance Masters of America. Ms. Kim hopes to keep the dance program at DWK always progressive, innovative and enriching for all students. Ms. Kim resides in Palmerton with her husband Mike and fur babies Odin & Freyja. Their son Dan is a graduate of Millersville University and their daughter Brittany is a graduate of the University of The Arts.
