CDK x LLF

Kristin is a proud partner and supporter of LLF, The Little Lighthouse Foundation. Together they're spreading movement, joy and confidence through the Move and Groove program. This initiative brings dance, self-love and self-expression to underserved communities, reaching students at the elementary, middle and high school levels. It's all about helping young people build confidence from the inside out, moving with purpose, positivity and heart and speaking kindly to ourselves. Our messages are simple yet powerful: "Do Good, Feel Good" and "Yes I Can!"

FROM THE LLF MONTHLY NEWSLETTER…

Kristin DeCesare is the founder of CONFIDANCE BY KRISTIN (CDK)! CDK enjoys partnering with The Little Lighthouse Foundation (LLF) because she believes there is much synergy within our missions.

Kristin said, " “Do good, feel good” (LLF) is a great slogan and motto to adhere to. ”Yes I Can!” (CDK) that reinforces positive self talk and that we CAN do whatever we put our minds to." Kristin believes that dancing, moving & grooving are fun ways to connect the mind, body and shift energy. 

She personally feels the more we truly love ourself & practice self love; that’s then vibration we spread & share with others. 

CDK focuses on affirmations which is a great method to practice & cultivate self love, belief in oneself and boost self confidence. Kristin says, "When you affirm out loud with aligned energy in those affirmations you are declaring your value and in turn activating areas of the brain that make you feel good about yourself."

Together at LLF's Move and Groove Program, we believe that doing this with consistency has a positive compounding effect with the girls at Girl Power Rocks. Our Move and Groove Program for the summer with CDK will be on Tuesdays from 2:30PM - 3:30PM.

“Exploring Life & Business with Kristin De Cesare of ConfiDance by Kristin”

“I started with a passion and love for dancing, creating, and teaching.”

From a young age, movement was my language, a way to express what words couldn’t. That love carried me across stages all over the world, performing with Pitbull as one of his featured dancers, later stepping into the role of creative director, and sharing the stage with countless incredible artists. I’ve been lucky enough to perform on major TV shows, award stages, and in music videos that reached millions, but what always lit me up most was the connection. The way dance could transform not just how people move, but how they feel.

Along my journey, I also earned my Master’s Degree in Education, and the seed for ConfiDance by Kristin was planted. I wanted to bring together everything I love about dance, creativity, and teaching into something that uplifts others. Today, our team of amazing instructors embodies the ConfiDance/CDK method, a movement philosophy that helps children and adults alike find empowerment through self-love, confidence, and joyful connection between mind and body.

But as we all learn, life isn’t linear. It’s full of twists, turns, and unexpected redirections. As a dancer, I learned to grow a thicker skin, to keep showing up after rejection, to trust that every pivot is a teacher, and that growth is rarely comfortable but always worth it. Every experience has shaped not only the artist and educator I am today, but also the person, one who believes that confidence isn’t about perfection. It’s about connection, courage, and learning to move through life with grace, even when the rhythm changes.

Kristin sits down with the Custody Queens.

ConfiDance by Kristin Founder and CEO Kristin DeCesare joins Kristen Holstrom and Sam McBride of Custody Queens on Air to discuss how affirmations and self-love can be helpful for your child during a custody case.

Watch the YouTube interview HERE.

The original episode aired in Southern California on Go Country 105 KKGO-FM.

I had the best time chatting with Kristen and Sam. They have dedicated their careers to helping families navigate the complexities of a divorce. As we know, this can have a profound effect on the children. During my decades of teaching, I have seen the help that affirmations have had on kids experiencing a divorce.

Take a listen and leave me a comment with any questions.

Thanks for having me, ladies!
