What Ballroom Dance Teaches Us About Good Posture
Kim’s passion for posture is deeply influenced by her love for ballroom dance. She can often be heard saying, “Ballroom dancers don't slouch, and neither should you.”
Kim is an active ballroom dance instructor and performer who previously led a ballroom dance ministry through her church with her husband. She frequently refers to the techniques of smooth dances like the Waltz, Foxtrot, and Tango for the mental image of elegant posture alignment. Just as dancers hold their head above the shoulders with balance and strength, so should someone sitting comfortably in their workspace. Kim believes firmly in the power of good posture in every scenario.
“Ballroom dancers don't slouch, and neither should you.”

Why Kim Brought Ergonomic Assessments to Tampa Bay
Ergonomics and You was founded after moving to the Tampa Bay area and realizing there was a real need for the service in the area. Ergonomics is not widely practiced in Florida, and Kim recognized the opportunity to apply her expertise in an impactful way. Since the beginning of Ergonomics and You, Kim has remained dedicated to her cause of reducing and preventing discomfort one person at a time through personalized ergonomic assessment designed for “You,” the individual.
