Tamra Odrobina – Owner & Instructor

Hello, My name is Tamra Lusch-Odrobina and I am super excited to be a new franchisee owner of Kinderdance in the state of Michigan. I am a mother of two beautiful children, a Eighteen-year-old daughter, and a fifteen-year-old son. I have been dancing since the age of 4 and continued the passion of dance through keeping up with the latest training, such as certification for Xtend Barre, Zumba, Zumba Kids, Zumba Jr and even have a degree in Early Childhood Development and Business Management. I have been a leader and educator in the field of Child Care, for the past twenty-eight years, and have taught at local studios for the past 21 years. What brought me to Kinderdance is my love & passion of both, children and the art of dance.
