Kristen "Bean" Norfleet
Kristen (AKA Bean) first tried poling on an empty tether pole in 4th grade. They were a gymnast at the time and later became a dancer of many styles, eventually getting to compete in worldwide choreography competitions with The Drop Fam and solo freestyle battles locally and nationwide.
Respective to her movement journey, their self care journey has been there to slowly guide them along. Incorporating the knowledge she gained from being a physical therapy technician for 3 years into their movement practice has also allowed her to repair and prevent her own injuries to continue growing. Last year she even competed in her first pole competition and placed 3rd in the nation. Authentically moving to music has been one of their biggest passions, challenges and lessons in life. After all, she says, "the way you feel highly impacts the way you move."
