Welcome to our Parkers Prairie Area Just For Kix website! My name is Kristie Kies and I'm the Director of the Parkers Prairie Program. My first experience with Just For Kix was in 2007 when our daughter joined her first dance class. I then started with the Just For Kix company in 2008 with taking over the Parkers Prairie Area program and I am so proud of the dancers in this program and seeing them and the program grow over the years. In 2011 I brought a team to the Outback Bowl to perform with other Just For Kix dancers during the pre-game and half-time performances. We are planning to participate in the 2024 Reliaquest Bowl. I helped implement the Parkers Prairie High School Dance Team my senior year in high school. In college I was a member of the Bemidji State University Dance Team my freshman and sophomore years. In 2022, I obtained my Acrobatics / Tumbling certification, I am so excited to offer more stills and technique for our youth that will help build their strength and flexibility. Parkers Prairie is a great community to raise a family in and I am so happy and proud to be able to offer a high quality, affordable dance program for our area and the surrounding areas youth. At the end of each season, I reflect on how lucky I am to have a job I love so much! Here at JFK we try to treat every dancer how we would have our own child treated. Thank you for your interest in the Parkers Prairie Area program.

Hey there! My name is Ashley Burmeister. My daughter has danced with Just for Kix for 4 years going on 5 years. I work for the Wadena Eye Clinic as an Insurance Coordinator and Biller. I have a history in gymnastics and coaching gymnastics. When Kristie said there was going to be an Arco class. I was beyond thrilled. Then she asked me to help assist, I was so excited to get back to my roots with tumbling and dance combined, I couldn't say no! I'm excited to join the JFK team to help the girls grow and become confident in their tumbling skills.
Hi my name is Maddie and I am so excited to be an assistant coach this year! I currently work as an LPN at St.Williams Living Center. I recently danced in the Alumni dance at the spring show! Some of you may recognize me from when I was in dance during high school or from when I was crowned Teen Miss Parker’s Prairie in 2015! One of my favorite things about dance would have to be shows and the competitions! Here’s to a great dance season!
She’s BACK! We are so excited to have her back with our program.
