My name is Krista. I am 25, and live in Northern California. I have been teaching for almost 8 years, and opened up my own small Ballet studio last summer. Totally not planned, but the studio I was teaching at closed rather abruptly (poor Business Management) and I didn't want to stop teaching, so I decided to go for it! It has been such an amazing year, and I am slowly building up my student numbers as the word gets out about me. I really enjoy getting to come here to get ideas and suggestions. Thanks to all of you who make this such a great site!
