Kristal Lynn Konzen was born and raised in Southern California and has embraced the thriving country line dance community throughout California. She regularly takes classes and is in constant contact with colleagues in order to be up to date with new dances and make new connections. Her dance roots stem from ballet, jazz, lyrical, and hip hop, and started teaching in the dance studio she worked at starting at age 16. 

In 2008, she made semi-finals for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and during her trip to Dallas, fell in love with country two step and line dancing. Upon returning to her hometown of Thousand Oaks, she studied, took classes, and honed her dance skills to specialize in country dance.  After several years of country nights and various events, she gained a coveted teaching spot at her favorite local country bar Borderline Bar and Grill in 2013 and became the resident College Night Dance Instructor.  

Today, Kristal Lynn is the resident Dance Instructor and DJ for College Country Night at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills and also taught and DJ'd at the new BL Dancehall and Saloon before it closed in March 2023. She has been the Borderline Dance Team Director since its formation in 2017. Kristal Lynn also teaches for local schools and venues and teaches and DJs at weddings, corporate events, and private parties several times a month.

One of Kristal's most notable experiences was teaching at the nationally known Stagecoach Country Music Festival from 2017-2019 and in 2020 was asked to be the Dance Instructor for the first "Stagecouch", performing and teaching on the Stagecoach social media's live broadcast.  She also has hosted and led Thousand Oaks' local Conejo Valley Days Western Night since 2016, including hosting and teaching line dance lessons.

Her choreography and line dances are taught in California, Texas, Florida, New Jersey, and Richmond. Most recently her line dance "I Got This (Can't Miss)" was reposted and advertised by country music star Jerrod Niemann and has been taught in several states across the country. 

Dancing is her passion, and her dreams are to continue to bring her love of dance and choreography to as many people as possible, making friends and creating new experiences along the way. Whether you learn a new dance step, a new line dance, or just leave class with a smile on your face, these memories make her job fulfilling.
