Demi Kouwenhoven RAD RTS

Demi fell in love with dance at the age of 4 and has been dancing ever since. Dancing has been central to her life because she loves the muscle training, the emotional release, playing a character, the discipline, and working together with other artists to make a thing of creativity and beauty. Demi has worked with Rushing Wild, a pre-professional performing arts company in Vernon, as a dancer and choreographer. She has also been coaching cheerleading at RSS and her team has attended numerous international and local competitions performing routines consisting of cheer, jumps, tumbling, dance, and stunts. Demi has her registered teaching status with Royal Academy of Dance, as well as a completed certificate with the RAD in Dance Education.

Demi believes that teaching is as much about formal instruction as it is about helping people grow as individuals and she loves to encourage confidence in her students and give them tools that will help them beyond the dance studio.
