Park Rapids - MN Just For Kix Director Kaitlin Popanda is at the top of her game teaching dance classes in Park Rapids - MN to children, which creates confidence, dance technique, friendship and a whole lot of fun!
Hello! My name is Kaitlin and I have been the Park Rapids Just for Kix Director for 11 years. Dance has always been apart of my life and I am so grateful that this is my career. I coached with my mom in high school and in college, as her assistant and head instructor for 6 years for the Park Rapids teams. I have 11 years of dance experience of my own, starting with dancing for this company when I was in 2nd grade. It amazes me how much JFK has changed my life. I have been married for 14 years and have three beautiful kids. Brooklyn is going into 8th grade and has danced for me since she was 3, Hayden is going into 5th grade and has danced for me since she was 2.5, and our son Rowan is 5 who loves ALL SPORTS. Football is his favorite, along with hockey, T-ball, and golf. He also loves to dance around the house himself ;) Let’s just say dance lives in our home. I absolutely love being apart of this community and raising my kids here. It’s a daily thing where I reflect on the impact the youth in this community has made on me, my family, and my staff along with the impact this program has made for these kids in this program. We strive to grow bonds, friendships, teamwork, confidence, and self worth within our dancers. I am so proud of the program and culture we’ve built in our Park Rapids community and look forward to many years working with your amazing kids! -Kaitlin

Hi, I’m Abby! I have been dancing with Just For Kix for 13 years. I had the privilege of being a dance captain this past year and hope to be again! This will be my second year coaching and I am so excited to continue making connections as well as share my passion for dance with the dancers! I am a senior in high school this year, so I strive to make my last year my best. When I am not dancing or at school, you will usually find me playing tennis and spending time with my family on the lake. I can’t wait for this year!
Hi, I’m Jadyn! I am a senior this year and I’ve been dancing with PR JFK for 14 years now, (onto my 15th)! I’m so excited to be assisting the mini hip hop team this year, and to spread my love of dance (especially hip hop!) with younger dancers. Outside of dancing, I love to hang out with my friends and family. I look forward to this new and exciting chapter, and I can’t wait to see what this year of dance brings!
