Kendall Henderson is all about passion and creativity, with 15 amazing years dedicated to teaching and connecting with countless students. Trained in Hip Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, and Lyrical, her love for choreography took root back at Cyprus High School, where she thrived on the drill team, dance company, and even dabbled in drama and debate!

After graduating in 2010, Kendall jumped straight into the studio scene, kicking off her teaching career at Synergy Dance Academy. Every year, she challenges herself to reach new heights, racking up awards and accolades along the way for her innovative choreography.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg! During her time at the University of Utah (2010-2012), she proudly danced with the Crimson Line and Marching Band, and helped the Copper Hills Azurettes snag their 5th consecutive State Championship as an assistant coach. She’s also trained and performed with U.D.O (Utah Urban Dance Organization), a nonprofit crew dedicated to giving back to the community and inspiring others. Plus, she taught hip hop at Rowland Hall Middle School from 2014-2019.

Now in her fourth year at Salt Lake Arts Academy, Kendall is having a blast launching the hip hop program, leading a tech crew class, and teaching students how to edit music and create their own mixes. When she’s not at the studio or SLarts, she loves spending time with her adventurous 6-year-old daughter, Coraline Gray. Together, they dive into arts and crafts, enjoy cozy movie nights, and explore the world through travel, new experiences, and fun adventures. Her life motto? Always push past your limits, keep learning, and embrace every opportunity with an open heart and mind. Let’s dance!
