Gymnastics, Cheerleading, Flexibility

New York City

  • I’ve performed and trained in Cheer, Gymnastics, Dance, and Circus Arts!
  • In HighSchool, my Varsity Cheer team made history as one of the first public school teams to qualify for and compete at the National Cheerleading Championship in Orlando, FL!
  • My favorite part of coaching is seeing a student finally land a skill they’ve been working hard on!

Hi, I’m Kayla! My background is rooted in Dance, Gymnastics, and Cheer. I’ve always loved the energy, creativity, and confidence that come from movement. I began as a competitive athlete and have since grown into a coach, bringing my experience as a performer and athlete into the way I teach. When I was a child I took Gymnastics, and Dance classes. As a teen I competed in All-Star and High school Cheerleading competitions. These experiences taught me the importance of teamwork, discipline, perseverance, and believing in yourself—even when a skill doesn’t come easily at first. My teaching philosophy is that every child can learn and grow when they’re given patience, encouragement, and the opportunity to have fun. I love seeing the excitement on a student’s face when they finally accomplish something they’ve been working toward!
