Susan Janson
STUDIO OWNER | DANCE & FITNESS INSTRUCTOR
Susan Janson began dancing at age 4 and soon dreamed of doing nothing else. Professionally dancing for numerous years, she began transitioning into teaching and quickly fell in love with teaching three year olds all the way up to adults.
As a way to keep in shape and recover from injury, Susan began taking fitness classes and soon began teaching different formats of fitness as well. While completing her MBA at CSULB, Susan opened Kick It Up as the first non-competitive fitness and dance studio in the area, with the premise of offering dance and fitness classes for multiple levels and ages at the same time and in the same location.

Testimonials
Our family loves this studio. The atmosphere is so positive and the energy is so magnetic. Our kids dance here 4 days a week and love every second of it. The teachers are SO good. Encouraging, kind, inclusive and move all they all love what they do. You won’t find a studio anywhere like this one.

Kick It Up is our second home. It’s a great dance studio, teachers are amazing, the staff very friendly, the owner Susan is very sweet. My daughter has been taking classes for almost 6 years, since she was 9, and see her growing as a dancer makes me so proud of her. Can’t wait to see her competing on the Dance Team!
