Hello! My name is Kara Jenkins! When I started this small business my last name was Endsley, but since I married my favorite guy June 11th of this year in the most beautiful place- Iām now a Mrs and the happiest newlywed there ever was!
I started this gig as a way to help couples feel confident about their first dance on their wedding day. Dance has been a huge part of my life since I was 6 years old, and after many years of dancing through middle school, high school, and college- I am currently the dance director at Canyon Lake High School where I direct 3 teams, 2 of which are co-ed ballroom teams.
Although my initial passion was in dance/drill team, I was lucky enough to land a position at a school with that and more. I have the sweetest team members and students who inspire me to do and be better- they have helped continue to grow my passion for dance, and allowed me to explore a newer-found passion for ballroom and partner dancing which is the base and foundation of Spin Me Sweet.
Ever since I could remember, I looked forward to that special moment with my husband. Being a dancer most of my life, I always pictured what that moment would look like, but it wasnāt until I got closer to the moment myself where I really started to think about the logistics of a first dance and how I, as a dance person, would have no issue choreographing and memorizing something, but that my husband would also have to learn and Iād be the one who would need to teach him.
I quickly realized that not every couple has the luxury of having a person in the relationship who can choreograph a first dance for them, or even if they do- they may not feel as confident teaching their significant other footwork that they themselves arenāt used to doing as the opposite dance role.
Although Spin Me Sweet is not my full time job, it is a huge passion of mine, and I feel so grateful to work with the amazing clients that choose to trust me with such a special part of their day. Getting to enjoy watching sweet couples connect and bond even deeper through our process of learning their dance is truly specialš¤
