KWU

Kansas Wesleyan University has selected Bailey Brenn to serve as the new competitive dance coach for the Coyotes.

Brenn takes over for Kelsey Kieborz, who left KWU in April to focus on her dance studio, Revolution School of Dance.

“Our committee was impressed with Bailey’s experience at Colby Community College and her vision for the program,” said Mike Hermann, vice president and director of athletics. “With her background, I’m confident she’ll continue the momentum within our dance program.”

“I’d like to thank Mr. Hermann, (KWU President) Dr. (Matt) Thompson and members of the search committee for giving me this opportunity to lead the Kansas Wesleyan Dance program,” Brenn said. “My goal is to continue building the team to be one of the top competitive programs not only the conference, but in the region.”

Brenn comes to Kansas Wesleyan after serving as an assistant for the Colby Community College cheer and dance programs for the last two years. While at Colby, she was responsible for team choreography and had a significant role in recruiting.

“I am excited to be part of a new team, learning what each member of the team and what they have to offer and how we can make that a part of the performances,” Brenn added. “I am excited to see the bond between the team members and to see them become more of a family.”

She also served as a dance instructor for Ashly’s Dance Center in Colby for the last three years.

The native of Junction City was a member of the Junction City High School cheer and dance teams. She also was a member of the Colby CC Trojans cheer and dance teams and the Kansas State University Classy Cats dance team. She was a member of the 2016 NJCAA Region 6 championship teams at Colby.
