Kristen Greto has been dancing for 25+ years. She began her training at City Center Dance in her hometown, White Plains, NY. She also trained with the American Tap Dance Foundation as a member of the Tap City Youth Ensemble for several years where she had the opportunity to perform in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Along with her her extensive training at CCD, she performed in various venues throughout NYC including Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, and Lincoln Center. These experiences exposed her to the dance team style/world which led her to be featured in DanceSpirit Magazine and appear on national television on the Rachael Ray Show. For the past 9 years she has danced for professional teams: 6 years with the NBA Brooklynettes and before that, 3 years with the NBA G-League Westchester Knicks, both of which she served as a team captain for part of her tenure. During her time with the Nets, Kristen performed internationally in China and Mexico as well as with many celebrity artists such as Lil Kim, Busta Rhymes and more. Kristen currently coaches the Division 1 Long Island University Dance Team, where she led the program to their first-ever National Championship win in the Open Spirit Game Day category in 2023 and then again in 2024. Kristen recently completed her first season as Head Coach of the inaugural NBA G-League Long Island Nets Dance Team affiliated with the Brooklyn Nets; a full circle role where she not only leads the team, but choreographs all of the their routines. She is very excited for her second season with the Long Island Nets!
