Since enrolling our three daughters in dance, we have seen them grow physically strong while developing grace, poise, and confidence. They have made wonderful friends from many different schools while having fun. Kim and her staff are positive leaders and excellent role models . Our whole family enjoys the benefits of involvement in dance. Professionally speaking as a counselor, I can attest that kids who are involved and invested in activities have lower incidence rates of behavioral and mental health issues AND early instruction in dance can even help kids academically by encouraging coordination, memorization, and gross motor development. Thanks, Kim Tonia






For each person, dance has meant something different to them, but for me, dance has always been a way for me to express myself. When I couldn't use words, I would dance. As a young child, it gave me confedence to be out in front of people, I was just being me. It's so crazy to think that I am a senior and it is almost over. As a teenager, most kids can't wait to be done with high school, but now that I loook back, I want everything to slow down I try to live for every moment, especially the ones at the studio. Even though we all get stressed about the other 8 million things we have to do, take time to enjoy the present. There is something about the studio that makes me feel at home, whether it's talking with Kim or another dancer. You always have someone here for you, they are your family. That is one thing I will miss next year, but I know I will always have this family to come back to in a time of need. Olivia



Kim, Thank you for everything you've done for me throughout the past 10 years. You are a great inspiration and a wonderful role model of mine. I consider you my mentor, I know I can talk to you about anything and everything and you always listen and give me advice. You are also a great teacher and friend. I didn't know if I'd like dance when I started but as I grew I fell in love with dancing....it's a major stress reliever for me and I hope I can continue it, though nothing compares to your studio, where I had the best times and great friends.

My daughter will be completing her 9th year of dance with Kim and I couldn't be prouder of her and all of her accomplishments in doing so. Lauren has made many, many friends and learned so many skills that she has used in all aspects of her life. The constant encouragement and support the dancers receive are such positive influences for children of all ages. Countless opportunities are given to the kids at the studio to make new friends, meet new people, travel to competitions, and explore new challenges. All around Kim Hohman's DanceWorks offers a great experience to have fun and show your talents! Jill


From the moment you step into the studio, you are filled with dance. Kim's love of dance fills the entire studio and you can see it in each and every student. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or advanced, there is definitely a place for you to fit in and have fun. I love that KHDW offers classes to everyone young and old. My daughter is on her sixth year of dance and my son is on his first, I myself am on my fifth year, and my husband evenparticipates in the Dads dance. It is a little treasure right here in Van Wert. I would tell anyone to give Kim Hohmans DanceWorks a try, they will fall in love with it just as I did. Brandy


Kim, My daughter Ashlynn Parrish danced for you this year. It was her first year with you, and she loved it. I am so impressed with your facility, instructors, etc. compared to where she was dancing before. I am in charge of the Grover Hill Summerfest this year. We would be honored to have your dancers put on a performance during our festival. Last year the dance group did a nice job, but I would like to have a quality dance group perform such as yours.
