About Just For Kix
Our Story
In 1981, Cindy Clough opened the first Just For Kix Youth Dance Program in Brainerd, Minnesota. Within 24 hours, 120 students were enrolled.
Over the years, the organization’s special brand of choreography and exciting, youth-centric format spread to surrounding communities and eventually to 13 other states. Now, over 21,000 dancers enroll in Just For Kix dance classes - from New Mexico to Iowa, from Texas to Wisconsin.  
Over the years, Just For Kix has added a dance practice and performance apparel catalog, college bowl game performance tours, competitions, summer camps, and a team customwear catalog to its portfolio. Check out all of Just For Kix’s offerings below.
