Hey! Thanks for "swinging" by!
I’m Kiersten Gustin and I bet you can guess what my passions are by now... Yep, you got it! All things weddings & all things dance!!! So here’s a little about me:
I’ve been dancing before I could walk and that led to many years of training in lots of styles, such as: ballet, contemporary, modern, hip hop, tap, and all that jazz. ;)
But, my absolute favorite style is ballroom! Yes, there are over 30 styles in that group. Shhh, but I LOVE them all!
​
I've also worked seven years (and counting) at a wedding venue I adore. And yes, I still get chills every time I see the bride and groom meet eyes across the aisle on the day they've longed for!
​
So, I figured why not combine my two loves into a business and thus Dance Harmony was born! My goal is to make you feel confident, connected & fabulous on your big day. Oh and most importantly, having so much fun doing it!
Nitty-gritty credentials
After years of training in almost all styles of dance, I found my love for ballroom at the age of sixteen and have been taught by some of the world champions and top teachers in ballroom. I am well versed in over 27 styles of ballroom and have competed annually since 2017 at The Ohio Star Ball, the largest competition in the nation held in the beautiful city of Columbus, OH. I have placed in the top three positions in over 25 ballroom competitions and showcase performances, and have earned 1st place for all my original choreography formation pieces.
My love for dance quickly developed into a passion for teaching students of all ages. I teach private lessons, formations, and group classes to students weekly, instructed classes for the DanceSport Club at The Ohio State University, and have hosted multiple dance events for special occasions and wedding venues.
With all of my heart, I believe dance to be a skill that anyone can learn and have fun social dancing when attending weddings or parties...or even in your kitchen. I want to help you reach your dance dream and be your cheerleader along the way!
