Molly Nystedt

Hello! My name is Molly, and I am thrilled to be a part of the Xtreme Dance community. My journey with dance began at the age of 2, and I started competing when I was just 6 years old. Growing up in Morris, Illinois, I was a proud four-year member of the Morris Varsity Poms team, where I developed my passion for performance and teamwork.

After high school, I attended Marquette University, earning my Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology. During my time at Marquette, I was a member of the university's dance team and was honored to be voted captain in my senior year. Leading my team was an incredible experience that deepened my love for dance and my appreciation for the hard work and dedication it takes to succeed. Additionally, I have been a staff member with UDA (Universal Dance Association) for the past four years, which has allowed me to share my expertise with dancers across the country and continue growing as a teacher and mentor. I am excited to bring my experience and passion for dance to Xtreme, where I will be serving as the studio’s ballet teacher. Ballet has always been a cornerstone of my dance training, and I believe it is essential in building technique, strength, and artistry for dancers of all styles. I look forward to working with the talented dancers at Xtreme and helping them grow both technically and creatively. In addition to teaching at Xtreme, to pursue my Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) at Clarke University. My background in exercise physiology and physical therapy complements my dance expertise, allowing me to help dancers not only improve their performance but also prioritize their physical health and well-being. From the moment I joined Xtreme, I could tell how special this community is. I am so excited to get started, meet everyone, and be a part of the incredible journey these dancers are on. Let’s make this season one to remember!
