Just For Kix, a youth dance program in its 35th year, in 14 states, at 210
locations, engaging more than 20,000 young dancers, is now being staged in
Welches.

The program boasts that “At Just For Kix, doing your best is more important
than being the best.” Dancers experience the health and fitness benefits of
working to build cardiovascular endurance, strength and flexibility, along with
the core attributes of confidence, pride and friendship.

Tiffany Pfenning has assumed the director’s role for the Welches business.
She has an extensive background and passion for dance.

“I spent over 15 years training, competing and performing as a studio dancer,
dance team member and University of Oregon cheerleader,” Pfenning said. “I
also have over 15 years of experience choreographing, teaching and coaching
for private studios, high school teams, performance companies and dance
camps.”

The Welches Just For Kix dance program offers classes for youth ages 3 to 18
at Camp Arrah Wanna.

“I enjoy working with students of all ages and abilities and am committed to
bringing the joy of dance to our community,” Pfenning said. “I am excited to
watch the Mountain children bloom from the friendships and confidence
gained through dancing.”
