This is more than dance.

Meet Our Director

Experienced, Dedicated, Passionate.
Waupun - WI Just For Kix Director Missy Derksen is at the top of her game teaching dance classes in Waupun - WI to children, which creates confidence, dance technique, friendship and a whole lot of fun!

"We're entering our 10th year of our Just For Kix-Waupun program and I am so excited to share my love for dance with all of you!! I grew up being involved in almost every sport possible but as long as I can remember I have always had a passion for dance and choreography!! In high school I decided to switch from gymnastics to dance and just absolutely loved it! I danced for my high school dance team all 4 years and was captain my senior year. After high school and college, I decided to… More continue pursuing my passion for dance through coaching. I became the Head Coach for the Waupun Warriorettes Varsity Dance Team at Waupun Area Jr/Sr High School in 2005. I retired from that position in 2024, coaching there for 19 years, which I am so very proud of! During that time, we received numerous awards at various local, state and national competitions. I have had the privilege of coaching 11 State qualifying teams; 2008-the very first Waupun High School team to qualify for State ever: 2009, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and 2018, 2021 and 2022, 2023 and 2024. Three of those teams placed in the top 5 at the State our: 2017, 2022 and 2024 teams, with the 2024 team making school history, taking 3rd place in Pom, which no Waupun team has ever made top 5 at State in Pom until then. This was a program goal I had from the very beginning and something we worked so, so hard for and that all Warriorettes, past and present take great honor and pride in. In 2016 I was also awarded with the WACPC Dance Coach of the Year for WI, which I take great honor in this achievement. Also during my time coaching at Waupun, we added a a Middle School team to our program, as well as created a Warriorettes Youth Pomz program for our younger dancers, so I continued to make it a priority to help grow dance in our area for all ages. Our MS Warriorettes team made their first State appearance in 2019-placing with a 3rd and 5th place finish. In 2016, I decided I wanted to continue to expand dance for the youth in our area so I opened our Just For Kix, Waupun program. I wanted to be able to help teach, grow and inspire as many young people as possible with the gift of dance. We started with 44 total dancers in our program and today, we have over 300 youth dancers from many surrounding communities!! I have not only continued to help grow and teach dance in our community but also continue to grow myself. Each year I continue to extend my knowledge of dance by taking classes, attending dance conventions and participating in workshops. I feel it is just as important for myself to grow or I can not give my dancers the absolute best!! Most recently I was awarded with the 2022 Developing Director of the Year Award for Just For Kix, which I was greatly honored and humbled by to receive. Waupun also became recognized as a Top 25 JFK program, out of 175, in 2022. This year, we hit our highest ranking ever, with being the 12th biggest program!! As we enter our 10th year with Just For Kix-Waupun, I am so excited to continue to give our dancers the best training we can. We will now be offering Acro, as I became a Certified Acro teacher this summer through the Acrobatic Arts program. We began taking our teams to competitions about 4 years ago and each year, we continue to raise our barre higher and higher, earning many 1st and 2nd place finishes, as well as a few National Championship placing teams. We have also taken dancers to participate in the Reliaquest Bowl in Tampa Bay, FL, performing at halftime with over 500 other dancers. It was a phenomenal experience for us all. I am so thankful for the opportunity to bring Just For Kix to the Waupun area and to continue to help dance grow in this great community!! We look forward to dancing with you!! Less"

JoHanna Rens

“When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.” – Wayne Dyer Hello! I am JoHanna Rens (Coach Jo). Dance has always been a huge part of my life, and I love being able to share my passion with so many young dancers. I started dancing when I was 3 years old, taking classes at the former Waupun Community Dance Center. I also participated in our local Warriorettes Youth Clinics, which led me to the Warriorettes Dance Team that… More ultimately shaped me into the dancer and coach I am today! From 2012-2015, I danced for the Warriorettes Middle School Dance Team where I learned how to dance competitively. In 2015, I tried out for the Warriorettes Varsity Dance Team and remained on this team throughout my 4 years of high school, becoming Team Captain my senior year. During those 4 years I learned what it truly meant to work hard as a dancer, and it paid off as we qualified for State in 2016-2018 in Pom and Hip Hop. In 2017, we were the first Warriorettes team to ever place at State, earning 4th place in Hip Hop! During my Junior year, I accepted a position with the Just For Kix-Waupun program as an Assistant Instructor. I assisted at JFK with Pom, Hip Hop, Kick and Ballet/Lyrical. After I graduated in 2019, I continued teaching at JFK and volunteered to help with the Warriorettes youth clinics, parades, football performances and really anything Coach Missy would have me at. In 2020, I accepted the positions of Warriorettes Varsity Assistant Coach and Middle School Co-Head Coach. Under the leadership of Coach Missy and with my assistance, the Varsity Warriorettes continued to qualify each year for State in Pom and/or Hip-Hop. We made Warriorette history in 2022 as Regional Champs in Hip-Hop and placed 4th at State, followed by making Warriorettes history in 2024 by placing 3rd at State in Pom!! In 2022, I accepted the position as a Head Instructor at Just for Kix-Waupun for various age levels and dance styles, and in 2024, when Coach Missy retired from coaching the Warriorettes, I accepted the position as the new Head Coach for the Varsity and Middle School Dance Teams. During these past several years with Just For Kix-Waupun and the Warriorettes, I have had the privilege and honor of coaching under Coach Missy’s direction. She took me under her wing and taught me countless invaluable lessons on how to be a successful dancer and coach. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to be a part of each of these programs where I can share my passion with dancers of all ages and become a role model to the young hearts we are so fortunate to teach!
