Brittany Klinger
Brittany Klinger is originally from Charleston, WV, and has been dancing since she was 3 years old. She formally danced for 15 years at Regina’s Studio of Dance, later turned Lee’s Studio of Dance. Hip-hop became one of her favorites, and she danced on a hip-hop battle team for 3 years called 8 Nations. She danced competitively with hip-hop, musical theater, and lyrical for 4 years. Brittany took a break from formal dance in college and received her B.S. in Psychology from Marshall University and her M.S. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Kansas. One of her goals is to marry the two and be able to provide moving through your emotions classes or workshops, as she deeply feels “movement is medicine for the soul.”
