Kecia Marion—affectionately known as Ms. KiKi—is a dynamic line dance instructor whose vibrant energy and passion for movement light up every dance floor she steps on. While she serves as a full-time Intake Coordinator for Blue Cross Blue Shield, her heart truly beats for line dancing and the joy it brings to people of all ages. For Ms. KiKi, dancing is more than just exercise—it’s about community, connection, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome.

Her journey began in 2010 when she started dancing under the guidance of a local instructor. By 2013, her love for the art inspired her to form her own dance team while continuing her training. Those early days at LaQuinta Inn & Suites in Arlington paved the way for her growth as both a dancer and teacher. In 2017, she was officially hired as a Line Dance Instructor at the McDonald YMCA, where she continues to lead classes twice a week. Known for her upbeat teaching style and inclusive atmosphere, she has developed a loyal following of participants who love her unique blend of cardio fitness and fun.

In the summer of 2021, Ms. KiKi partnered with Forest Hill Library District, bringing her high-energy Cardio Line Dancing classes to the community. What started as a once-a-month session has now grown into regular Saturday classes, drawing participants who come not just to dance, but to laugh, connect, and feel uplifted. Her free library classes have quickly become a staple community program, breaking down barriers by making fitness accessible to everyone.

Her motto captures her spirit perfectly:  “Ms. KiKi is her name, Cardio Line Dancing is her game!”

Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or a complete beginner, Ms. KiKi makes everyone feel at home on the dance floor. Join her for an unforgettable experience—you’ll leave smiling, sweating, and ready to come back for more!
