Since 1995
Our Friendly Team of Instructors
All of our classes are taught by Kinderdance certified instructors. Our specializations include teaching dance, motor skills, gymnastics and creative movement.
Elizabeth bought her Kinderdance Franchise in 1994 when she retired from the corporate world and wanted to spend more time at home with her young children. Dance and gymnastics have always been a passion and she feels so lucky to have found a career teaching young children. Kindermotion evolved over time when Kids Yoga was added to her music and movement classes. Kindermotion classes have been taught in day care facilites and after school programs in the Buffalo area for 25 years.
Elizabeth has her BS from Nazareth College and received her training at Kinderdance headquarters in 1994 certifying her as an Early Childhood Movement specialist. Additionally, she is certified in children’s yoga programming through Go Grounded and Yoga Kids. She also attends annual conferences in VA along with the other franchisees for training and sharing purposes.
Miss Becky has been teaching dance in the WNY area for the last 25 years. She teaches all ages and levels of children from beginners to competitive dancers. Becky attended the University at Buffalo for her BS in education and Canisius College for her graduate degree where she participated in their dance programs. Before joining Kindermotion she worked as a School Counselor in the public schools for the past 11 years. As a mom of two amazing sons ages 11 and 13 she loves being able to share her love and passion for dance with children who are eager to learn and love to be there. We are so glad to have Becky join our team and lead the Northtown’s centers this year!
Mrs. Katy has been teaching Kindermotion classes since the fall of 2021. She is a former special education teacher who left the field to follow her true passions. She taught various grades in Seattle,WA. and Buffalo,NY. Katy attended Buffalo State for her dual BS in Elementary and Exceptional Education and graduated from Canisius College in 2020 with her MA degree. Katy always had a niche for integrating movement and music into her classroom. While in the classroom, she noticed the incredible benefits movement and music offered to her students. She found music and movement assisted the students with self regulation, while promoting social emotional learning in the classroom. Katy realized teaching dance/yoga was her calling when all she wanted to do was dance in the classroom. Katy loves to be outdoors, biking, kayaking, creating and practicing yoga.
Miss Tara earned her BA in Theatre from Columbia College and is presently studying at Buffalo State to earn her Masters in Elementary Education. She loves dance, music, art, comedy and practicing yoga. Tara has traveled to Peru, India and is RYI certified to teach yoga and mindfulness She also taught ESL in Taiwan for several years before returning to Buffalo where she now resides with her family. We are so grateful to have Miss Tara on staff as our Kids Yoga specialist.
Miss Sara has been with Kindermotion since 2011 and she loves to share her joy of music and dance with young children. Sara started dancing when she was five years old and danced competitively all the way through high school at Mary Alice’s Dance Studio in Orchard Park. Sara received her Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science from the University at Buffalo where she was introduced to Kindermotion while interning at a childcare in Williamsville. Miss Sara has two young children at home who are both currently enrolled in the Kindermotion programs. We are so fortunate to have Miss Sara leading our programs in the Southtown’s.
Welcome aboard Miss Cassidy! Miss Cassidy is a competitive dance student and assistant teacher at Dancers’ Turn studio in Cheektowaga. She has been dancing since she was 3 years old, and has developed a very strong passion for all types dance, including ballet, tap, lyrical, jazz, hip-hop, acrobatics and Zumba. Cassidy loves to compete across New York with solo routines and groups as well. She is currently getting her BS in Nursing but hopes to always be involved with dance. For Cassidy, dance and music has always been an outlet for her mind and body and her goal is to teach children to feel the same way while building confidence, allowing room for growth, and learning new skills that will benefit them. Miss Cassidy also loves snowboarding, singing, and hiking and is so excited to now be apart of Kindermotion.
A developmentally designed movement program like Kindermotion will enhance a young child's ability to learn and grow.
We Love Hearing From You
Have a look at some of the wonderful things people say about us.
Savannah started dancing with you at Rich Products EduKids location. I signed her up originally because I thought she’d look cute in a tutu in the atrium at the end of year performance! Shortly after she started you told me she had “it”. I thought you were trying to butter me up to ensure I kept her in the program! Lol 8 years later and she’s still dancing. In fact, Dance is her life. This past dance season she took 10 dance classes and 6 of her dances competed at Showstoppers Nationals in Myrtle Beach 2 weeks ago. All of her performances received platinum scores.
Next year she will be taking 14 classes and applying to be a teachers aide. The application process includes self choreographing a Dance and teaching the staff the dance.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you. You started her on a journey that has brought us both so much joy! Thought you’d enjoy this pic of her from lyrical solo – performed to “Because you Love Me” dedicated to me. Hope all is well with you. Please know that what you do has ripple affects far beyond what you see. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you
of Kinderdance. The familiar faces and very personal feel of Kinderdance was just what my daughter needed. Over the past three years Anna has become more confident and less shy during her recitals. We love the informal feel of the Year End Demonstration. The kids seem to be more at ease and loved earning their trophies.“
and we are looking forward to next year. I especially loved watching her develop her coordination skills, confidence and working with a group. Thank you!“
learned basic skills like skipping, galloping, jumping, balancing and hand-eye coordination. The entire program is wonderful, we love Miss Elizabeth. She is energetic, playful and incredibly respectful and loving to the children. Both of my children did Kinderdance and Kindergym for two years and absolutely loved it and Miss Elizabeth.“
everything about his Kindermotion program. Miss Elizabeth is a wonderful teacher; she really loves teaching the kids! It is a wonderful program, thank you.“
all of her lessons with Miss Elizabeth. She loves to practice her dance steps especially ballet at home often in front of a mirror. It has been a wonderful experience for our family and has helped her to build self-confidence as well. We just want to thank Miss Elizabeth for being such a great teacher and mentor.“
the availability of class during the day/school our daughter really loved Tuesday her ‘dance class day!’“
and would wake up every morning and ask, ‘Do I have Kindergym today?’ I think it’s a wonderful program with such kind, nurturing teachers and having it available at preschool is a huge bonus!“
that I can guarantee my daughter will be happy in the morning and ready to start her day at preschool. Thank you!“
of Kinderdance! My daughter Claire just finished her third year in the program and adores dancing. The instructor did a great job not only making class fun but also providing exposure to so many types of dance and movement. One of the reasons we chose EduKids over a different center was because Claire wanted to continue in this program. Thank you again and we look forward to more dancing this summer!“
