I'M TURNING 57!

Professional dancer Kim Hale lives by the motto "Dreams have no deadlines."

Having a career as a Broadway performer had been Kim's dream since she was a little girl. A professional dancer until her early 30s, she shifted to teaching before eventually transitioning to marketing and social media management. Then, in 2021, she experienced a series of life-altering events, including the loss of her parents two skin cancer surgeries, and a diagnosis of Bell's palsy. While healing, she took her first hip-hop dance class. "That's where everything for me changed.

I started dancing again and rediscovering my love of it," Kim says. Earlier this year she moved to New York City to chase her passion and began documenting her journey on Instagram and TikTok, where she has gained a huge following, and already she has landed a one-night guest appearance in the hit Broadway musical Chicago.
