Kristin Daniel is a visionary choreographer, director, dancer, and actress redefining the future of dance and visual movement. Hailing from Lafayette, Louisiana, she earned scholarships to world-renowned institutions like the Dance Theatre of Harlem and American Ballet Theatre, and began choreographing and teaching by the age of 15.

Her breakout came when she toured the country as an Elite Protégé with The Pulse on Tour, assisting industry powerhouses including Brian Friedman, Tessandra Chavez, Tyce Diorio, Tricia Miranda, Brooke Lipton, and Wade Robson. After earning her degree in Business Administration from the University of Louisiana–Lafayette, Kristin quickly became a force in the Los Angeles dancescape with notable credits spanning a national Walmart x Oscars campaign (dir. Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg), “GLEE,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” Janet Jackson, Daft Punk & Pharrell, Carrie Underwood, Samsung, and more.

She brought her creative mastery to TV as choreographer for ABC’s “The Astronaut Wives Club”, and later assisted Tyce Diorio and Lindsay Nelko on FOX’s “So You Think You Can Dance?” In 2024, Kristin brought her visionary talents to the music video space and made her directorial debut, alongside choreography, for major recording artist B.o.B’s “Steve Harvey” music video—marking a bold new chapter in her career as a visual storyteller.

A driving force behind viral, culture-shifting movement, Kristin is the Jazz choreographer for the nationally acclaimed LSU Tiger Girls, masterminding groundbreaking pieces like “Burn” and history-making pieces like “Are You That Somebody” and “Oops!... I Did It Again.” Her choreography has earned multiple national medals, including a Silver Medal at UDA College Nationals 2026 for “Oops!... I Did It Again,” and a Bronze Medal at UDA College Nationals 2024 for the historic “Are You That Somebody,” with each routine making history for both the LSU Tiger Girl Legacy and for UDA. Beyond medals, her work has ignited a viral movement—amassing millions of views across social platforms and reshaping the perception of jazz choreography in the competitive dance team space. Kristin’s work with LSU has set a new standard, blending athleticism, musicality, and storytelling in a way that has made waves far beyond the competition floor.
