MEET THE Founder, KickStart Country
Hey, I'm Adia!
Creator of KickStart Instructor Training and co-owner of KickStart Country. Our mission is to help everyday dancers become confident, capable, and credible instructors who truly make an impact.
But I started exactly where you are. I remember watching great instructors and thinking, I wish I knew how to lead like that. I wish I knew how to explain things clearly.
So I stepped up, learned, failed forward, and kept going. Since then I’ve trained thousands of dancers at bars, conventions, and festivals across the country, and now I’m here to give you the structure, clarity, and support I wish I had in the beginning.
Whether you already teach or you’re just starting, KickStart Instructor Training gives you the tools to elevate your leadership.
You might wonder if you’re ready or if you know enough. The truth is almost every instructor who joins KickStart starts with the same questions. They just felt the pull to lead, to serve, to build community, and to make a difference.
With the right training, everything else becomes possible.
KickStart has helped dancers from all backgrounds step into teaching with clarity, confidence, and momentum. And it’s easier than you think when you have a full system and a team behind you.
So take a breath, trust that nudge, and let’s build something powerful together. Your path as an instructor can start today with one simple decision.

SUCCESS STORIES
KIT Helped Me Nail My Event Planning!
I had the incredible opportunity to serve as a mock judge through the KIT apprenticeship program. This experience provided invaluable insights into the judging process, which is essential for my role as an event coordinator for dance competitions.
Learning from knowledgeable professionals has deepened my understanding of what makes an event organized and effective. I’m excited to apply these insights to create more educational and enjoyable experiences for everyone involved!
- Harley
Next level teaching
Through KIT, I’ve acquired effective techniques for teaching dance. Before each lesson, I introduce relevant dance terminology to my students. During the lesson, I break down the movements, reinforce the associated terms, and emphasize their use throughout. This approach has significantly improved students’ retention—not only for the current lesson but also for future ones.
- Colleen
Winning Together
A few of the competitors asked for feedback on Tuesday. I noticed they implemented a lot of the advice I gave them for the competition last night—and they made it to finals! They let me know how thankful and excited they were to have made it. It made me so happy to see their improvement and how excited they are.
It’s been such a rewarding feeling today to have been a part of their success!
- Ashley
KIT transformed my leadership
“Since joining KIT, I've learned the value of expressing compassion and having confidence. Both help foster positivity and lead to a more productive and comforting experience for ALL in a dance community. The goal should be quality dance memories. I am truly excited to learn more from KIT and become a more effective leader!”

Guided Me From Beginner to Confident Instructor
“I’m still new and a beginner, which is why I got involved with the KickStart program. It gave me better insight into what to do in the business and how to handle things. That’s also why I attend all the calls — I just want to learn.”
- Mimi
