Kimberly J. James is the founder and the President of the Board for DICF. Kim has more than 20 years of combined dance training and instructional as well as professional dance experience. Kim is a graduate of Hampton University with a Bachelor's of Arts degree in Speech Communication and Theatre Arts and discovered early that dance has been her center of gravity since she was a child. She taught Theatre Arts and directed the Lake Braddock Secondary School dance team in Fairfax County, Virginia for four years leading them to numerous local and national championship titles. As the director of the group, Kim founded and produced the first Northern Virginia Regional Dance Team Competition, and used the proceeds as a fundraiser for her team to compete in Orlando, Florida. At the age of 26, Kim defied the odds, being one of the oldest and one of very few minority dancers as a St. Louis Rams Cheerleader. She later moved to New York City, where she expanded her artistic skills by taking various classes and workshops at Steps on Broadway and the Dance Theatre of Harlem. Since Kim returned to Virginia to start her family, she has organized and instructed the summer dance program at Kenwood School's Summer Day Camp in Annandale, Virginia and taught at Rhythm and Cheer Studio in Springfield, Virginia as a volunteer. The combination of Kim's love of dance, her desire to diversify the arts industry and her commitment to inspiring our youth to achieve their goals personifies the Dream in Color concept.
