Janet Kravenko - "Mrs. K"
Janet Kravenko landed in Las Vegas in 1959, as a dancer in the famed "Lido" at the Stardust Hotel.  By the mid 60's she was teaching dance in the Las Vegas Valley.  Mrs. K focuses on teaching children, ages 3 - 18, more than steps.  Mrs. K has a teaching certificate from the Royal Academy of Dance & Imperial Standards of Teaching Dance.  However, not only does she teach the technical side of dance, she also teaches learning about life and learning to be strong and learning to have confidence.  "I tell my senior girls when they graduate, I tell them, 'Ok, I've given you everything I have to give you. Now you go out and share it with someone else.'" That attitude has brought success to Kravenko Dance Academy and set a positive example for countless young dancers.
