Kimberly Jarvis | Teaching Artist | Consultant

The Arts + More approach, by Kimberly Jarvis, is grounded in neuroscience, creative aging practice, and the long-standing global tradition of storytelling through movement. Yet beneath the academic frameworks, the core of Kimberly’s work remains deeply human: helping people reconnect with their own stories, tap into a sense of meaning larger than themselves, and build genuine connections with one another.

Workshops

Meet Kimberly, a creative nonprofit leader who blends arts, education, and strategy to strengthen communities and expand access to storytelling and literacy.

Kimberly began as a young dancer in rural Ohio, where early training sparked a path that led her to study and perform internationally, direct a modern dance company, and develop the movement-based teaching methods that shape her work today.

“I didn’t know much about dance. Now I understand what movement is. I get the foundations, and I know I can use dance and movement to express my emotions and thoughts. I understand the art form now. A lot of people have said Mrs. Jarvis showed us we could do things we never thought we could. People even tell me they feel more comfortable in their bodies now too.”

“ We recently had the opportunity to work with Kimberly Crislip Jarvis as we applied for our company’s nonprofit status. Kimberly was patient, easy to work with, and always willing to take extra time to address our questions and concerns. Her expertise as she guided us through this complex process helped us to complete each step with confidence.  We would highly recommend Kimberly as a resource. “

I know Kimberly most for her amazing dance work, but she is a great example of someone who worked in the arts, is successful, and is ready to do great work in any field. Creativity. Organization. Great people skills. She’s got ’em.”

“The Teaching Artist in Residence program was a wonderful addition to the Cloverleaf music department. I believe the students benefited tremendously from the experience. It was phenomenal to see the students moving in sync, smiling, and fully engaged as they performed together. This spring concert was truly one of the best yet.
