Meet the Instructors

Meet Ms. Kim (Dance Coordinator)

Kim has been an employee of the Huntley Park District for 17 years and has taught fitness classes of all kinds. Kim has taught dance at a variety of locations for over 10 years.

Kim danced from age 3-7 in Michigan where she took ballet, tap, and jazz and competed in the Junior Company. I moved to Illinois where I continued my dance training through high school and joined Orchesis. I went to Eastern Illinois University and Majored in Education. I was a member of EIU Dancers where I was exposed to modern dance. We also performed Ballet, Lyrical, Jazz and Tap at multiple locations.

Upon graduation, I returned to my high school as a co-sponsor of Orchesis. I ran lights, music, and the costume closet for recitals. I also choreographed, organized rehearsals, and placed 75-100 dancers in individual dances.

I enjoy teaching dance to all ages. I’m excited to be a teacher and a team member of Horizon Dance!

Meet Ms. Ogechi

Ms. Ogechi’s passion for dance started at a young age when she began taking classes in many different dance styles. In high school, she was a 4-year member of Huntley High School’s Orchesis dance club. Ogechi went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Speech Language Pathology with minors in Dance and Psychology. She continued her education at Marquette and received a Master of Science Degree in Speech Language Pathology. Ogechi was a dancer and choreographer for a student-led dance organization at Marquette called Dance Inc. Over the years, Ogechi has had many other dance teaching and performance opportunities. In 2021, Ogechi performed as a guest artist with the Catey Ott Dance Collective in a performance titled ‘Resilience.’ Most recently, Ogechi was a member of Outlet Dance Company and performed in their season 9 concert in September 2023. Outside of the studio, Ogechi works as a speech-language pathologist and enjoys traveling and spending time with her family! Ogechi is excited to be a part of Horizon Studio Dance and to aid in cultivating a positive and joyous dance environment for the community!
