"I take great pleasure in recommending Kristy Nilsson as an innovative and very talented dance teacher... She taught master classes to my beginning, intermediate and advanced level students... I was astounded by her instant rapport with the students, her professionalism, and her dedication to dance education. Kristy demonstrates much strength as a teacher that far exceeds her peers. She quickly assesses the level of the group she is working with and instructs them based on their abilities. She speaks in a clear and precise manner, and she is always open to questions from her students. Kristy also gives positive feedback and corrections when necessary, and does so in a manner that leads the students to truly listen.

     Whether teaching or choreographing, Kristy Nilsson displays an extraordinary gift in the art of dance. She would provide a meaningful experience to any group of dancers. Kristy is a pleasure to work with, and she would be an asset to any dance environment.”

~ Lisa Martin, Chairperson / Director of Dance, St. Pius X, Atlanta, Georgia

"Kristy runs a terrific classroom; and the kids are truly fond of her!  We appreciate all her good work with our students."

"It had long been a goal of mine to find just the right person to teach modern dance to my students.  At last, after almost fifteen years of searching, I have accomplished that goal: Miss Kristy."

"I have never met anyone like you in my life.  Your patience with the children is amazing.   You are so generous with your time and attention to them.  Cameron absolutely LOVES you.  She is happier just to be near you.  I don’t know if you realize what you are creating for these children (and I’m not speaking of only my children).   You are creating such positive associations and memories with dance.  Their love for you will translate into a life-long love of dance.  The light that you put into their hearts will glow forever.  I am constantly amazed by you and I am so very appreciative of you.  Congratulations on the wonderful “Nutcracker.”  I know they will remember this time in their lives.  I hope my girls will dance your steps for many years to come!"
