Kayla Geerts is a junior dance management major at Oklahoma City University (OCU). There,  she is a member of the Star Dance Company as well as the Spirit of Grace Liturgical Group and trains in many styles of dance including tap, jazz, ballet, and theatre dance. Kayla has been dancing locally for 15 years and has been proud to perform in shows produced by Iowa Dance Theatre, Iowa Ballet Academy, Yaro Dance Company, and more. Recently, in addition to dancing, Kayla has had the pleasure of teaching at multiple dance studios, choreographing for Urbandale Community Theatre, and working with Wagner Summer Theatre. Since the start, she has been in love with the art form of dance which she sees as a way to express herself, work through life’s challenges, and celebrate life’s wins. Following the completion of her dance degree at OCU, she plans to audition for cruise ships and musical theatre performance jobs. It is a dream of hers to someday work as a performer at Disney. Following her time performing, she hopes to return to the Des Moines area to pursue her passions of teaching, choreographing, and arts management.
