For West Union’s Katrina Schmitt, it’s more than making sure the lines are straight and the kicks are high.

Getting underway with her 11^th year of teaching Just For Kix this year, Schmitt has dedicated countless hours to the dance organization, doing it all from teaching a weekly class to helping lead fundraising efforts for performances.

“I got started with the organization in 2001,” shared the mother of two, who are both members of Just For Kix. “I took a break from instructing in 2003, but got back onboard in 2008.”
