History

Established in 1979.

In 1979, Carol Kay Harsell was busy running the American Academy of Dance, a successful dance school she founded in Scottsdale, Arizona. Harsell, who had great expectations for the school, was eager to expand her offerings and clientele. She looked to Bernard Friedman, businessman and entrepreneur, for ideas. After several months of hard work, Harsell and Friedman had more than tripled the size of the dance studio and raised the school’s enrollment to more than 600 students, but enrollment in the academy’s pre-​school dance program, aptly named Kinderdance, was still low. While talking one afternoon, Friedman asked Harsell why she thought that participation was limited? Harsell replied that it was because many young children were in child care centers and preschools. Friedman thought a few minutes and said «then why don’t you bring the program to the children?» It was at that moment that the concept for Kinderdance International was born.

Business Owner

Hello! My name is Trisha Brewer. Being involved in dance and fitness from a young age has been a positive and creative experience in my life. Blending my love of children with my passion for dance and movement, I saw the Kinderdance® Franchise as a perfect business opportunity.

I am a graduate of the comprehensive Kinderdance® Franchise Training class and attend annual Continuing Education Conferences. I am an Early Childhood Movement Specialist and have been certified in each program I teach. This is currently my 10^th year and I am looking forward to bringing the joy of Kinderdance® to many more children throughout San Diego.

I have a unique opportunity to work with Principles, Directors, teachers, and parents to bring a very special program to children. Working with the children to encourage fitness, health, and self-​esteem through gymnastics, movement and dance is an extremely rewarding experience for me.
