Mendota - IL Just For Kix Director Darby Bend is at the top of her game teaching dance classes in Mendota - IL to children, which creates confidence, dance technique, friendship and a whole lot of fun!
Darby has been dancing for many years, training at the Just For Kix in Waterman, and with her high school dance team. She has studied many different styles of dance; pom, kick, jazz, lyrical & ballet - but hip hop will always hold a special place in her heart! Since late 2021, she has enjoyed teaching dance classes of all ages. Now going into her third year as director of Mendota JFK, she loves being able to offer a safe space for her dancers to grow their passion not only for dance - but for Just For Kix and everything that it stands for.

As an established youth dance studio, Just For Kix is a leader in dance instruction. We offer proven technical training, a focus on teamwork and a respectful experience to our students. With a strong balance of fun and technique in our classes, we create a teaching environment that is low stress and less pressure. Styles vary from location to location offering everything from: Kick • Jazz • Lyrical • Hip Hop • Ballet • Tap • Pom.
As dancers progress through our studio, they 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. At Just For Kix, doing your best, is more important than being the best.
