Lily Morales

Director, Certified Gymnastics Instructor,
​Baby & Toddler Program Coordinator

Lily Morales is a mother of eight with a passion for teaching and inspiring children of all ages. She recently moved to the Ohio Valley with her family from St. Petersburg, Florida where Lily and her husband owned and directed a gymnastics center for 10 years. She is excited to bring her experience and passion to All 4 Kids. 

Lily was a competitive gymnast for 10 years and has 20 years of coaching experience. She strives to inspire children and adults to set goals, have faith, and believe that ALL things are possible.

As a mother of eight children, she is acutely in-tune with the stages of childhood development, ensuring that all classes are age-appropriate, fun, and most importantly, loving and supportive.  Fostering that environment, she feels, is what makes All 4 Kids different.

Bo Caviezel

Having been raised and practically brought up in the gymnastics world, jumping around and inside of a gym is not something that is new to me.  Hello to you all.  My name is Bo Caviezel.  I have spent the majority of my childhood years inside a gym from when I was 6 until I was nearly done with Middle School.  During my time there in the long hours of the gym, I learned, not only difficult and daring skills, but core values of trust, hard work, determination, dedication, and a whole lot more values that I still carry with me today. I have had the fortunate opportunity to compete at venues in California that top gymnasts from around the country compete in, with Peter Vidmar being one of the gymnasts I looked up to in the sport. I have also had the unique experience of being a State and Regional competitions during those years.  I held the title of West Coast High Bar Champion at State for one year. 

​I was always being pushed to try hard, try again, and most importantly, never give up by all of my coaches.  They always reminded me time and time again, “you are stronger and capable of doing much more than you think you can accomplish”.  This hard work in the sport of gymnastics had carried me through tough times in the sport of cross country that I did during my finishing years of middle school going well throughout High School and Community College.  I have had the opportunity to race and compete in well-raved courses in Southern California.  Even though my years of competitive gymnastics competing came to a close, I still loved the idea of running and finding a way to escape the daily turmoil around me.  I have run at least 5 half marathons during my high school and Community College years, all of which were such fun to compete in with family and friends.  I am currently a student here at Franciscan University studying Middle Childhood Development hoping that one day I will be a Middle School teacher.  I have always loved kids and being able to share what I know and love with them and inspiring them to dream big and reach for the stars.

Cruz Hawrot 

Certified Soul Core Instructor

I'm very excited to have the privilege of bringing SoulCore to the wonderful town of Steubenville. I'm no exercise fanatic, but I love the Blessed Virgin Mary, the rosary, and staying fit and active to some capacity. SoulCore was the perfect fit for me! With prayer being the primary focus, I've come to appreciate and grow in the fruits/virtues tied with every mystery, and have drawn closer to the Blessed Mother because of it. The bonus has been gaining greater flexibility and strengthening my body and mind. SoulCore is for EVERYONE! I encourage you to give it a try (or two) because it truly is a mind, body and soul experience that will bring you calm and peace.

Lyn Caviezel

Dance Instructor

My name is Lyn, and I am so honored and excited to teach Ballet classes at All4Kids Studio. I am from Southern California and am currently attending Franciscan University of Steubenville. I love spending time with my family, drawing, singing, and finally, ballet. I have been practicing the artform and discipline of ballet for 12 years.

My ballet journey began with gymnastic classes at 5 years old because my older brother was a competitive gymnast. I was put into ballet to have more grace and poise because I was lacking confidence and was always getting hurt. Taking gymnastics was an advantage because the strength that gymnastics requires helped me progress faster in my ballet endeavor. I started dancing when I was 6 years old and was progressing quickly. By the age of 11 my teacher asked me if I wanted to start pointe. My teacher always said that it doesn't matter the age; what matters is the strength of a dancer. I stepped away from ballet for two years because of a move and a change of teachers.

When I returned to California at the age of 13, I had a new drive. I not only realized that I missed ballet but understood at a much deeper level how much ballet meant to me in all aspects of my life. The more focus that I spent on my training technique, the more confidence I had in myself and ultimately the more fun and love I had for ballet. My teacher, Lisa Cuizon, who was a professional ballet dancer for over 10 years, not only taught me the Balanchine technique and discipline of ballet, but she also pushed me to be a better person in and outside of the studio. I had the strength, I just needed to learn how to be confident in how I danced. Confidence and perseverance are qualities that every person needs regardless of if they plan on pursuing a professional dance career or not.

​As my teacher always said, "Ballet is the only artform that uses your body as the instrument." My goal is to impart my passion for this artform to the students who attend All4Kids and every young person that I meet. I not only want to teach others my love for ballet, but I also desire to help children become confident, beautiful young people.
