Kathleen Myers
Dance Instructor
Kathleen is pumped to join the Mundelein Park & Recreation District Dance Program. Kathleen has her undergraduate degree in musical theatre and her graduate degree in education with a specialization in early childhood. At Western Illinois University, she studied tap, ballet, jazz, modern, and musical theatre dance as well as performed and choreographed for University Dance Theatre, a professional modern-based dance company. Since graduating from WIU in 2010, Kathleen has traveled around the country performing and teaching music, drama, and dance. She worked as a dance instructor for Riversong Dance Studio teaching tap, musical theatre dance, conditioning for both dance companies, and several adult fitness classes in Knoxville, TN. While working as a tour actor/director for Missoula Children’s Theatre, she was able to teach musical theatre choreography to children all over the US and Canada. Lexington Children’s Theatre trained Kathleen as an education intern, where she taught, acted, and choreographed for their productions. Kathleen also teaches for The Stage School in Park Ridge and the Beverly Arts Center in Chicago.
When she is not in the studio she enjoys hula hooping, group fitness, playing darts, and spending time with her husband, Kenny. She is an avid Bears fan, and owner to one small and naughty Chiweenie (chihuahua/dachshund) named Nugget. She is most excited about meeting students, families and becoming a part of the Mundelein community!
