Kia Marez - Company Dancer and Studio Instructor

Kia Marez is a Grand Junction native who has danced her whole life. She started dancing with Theresa Kahl at age four and has never stopped. Starting with hip hop, she soon fell in love with all styles of dance. Kia was convinced that dance was all she wanted to do with her life, but during her junior year of high school she went on a missions trip with the Calvary Chapel Grand Junction youth group to Haiti. During that trip she gave her life to the Lord, which started her on an incredible journey! After graduating from Grand Junction High School in 2015, Kia went on to attend Calvary Chapel Bible College in southern California. Kia continued to dance in California with plans to pursue a professional career after college, but God had other plans. God lead her to do a semester in Europe where she was working with missionaries to serve Iranian refugees. Since then she has had to opportunity to serve the Lord in Israel, Malta, Greece, Italy, and most recently, India.“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” - Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV)
