Kim Frazier, who refers to herself as a proud native Washingtonian, grew up in northwest D.C. She was baptized in the Catholic Church and attended Catholic schools in the District. Frazier received her undergraduate degree from Trinity University and a graduate degree from George Washington University. In 2019, after 40 years in the federal government (30 of those supporting military healthcare), Frazier retired. Dedication to serving her community and supporting those in need has given her a sense of purpose, both pre- and post-retirement. She has been a court-appointed advocate for people with intellectual disabilities, a mentor and tutor for D.C. youth, and a fundraiser (via dance) for cancer and Black organ donorship. She works with the nonprofit organization, Giving Others A Dream (G.O.A.D.), supporting multiple underserved groups in the District, Maryland, and Virginia. D.C. Hand Dance was a family activity in Frazier's home as a child. As an adult, Frazier honed her dance skills and competed in a number of competitions. She and her partner won the 1994 D.C. Citywide Hand Dance Championship, the 1994 Baltimore Hand Dance Competition, and tied for first place in the 1994 Duke Ellington Swing Dance Competition in D.C. In 2003, she and her partner won second place in the Virginia Swing Fling, Hand Dance category. In 1996, Frazier co-founded and directed the In Sync Hand Dance Troupe, the first fully synchronized Hand Dance troupe in Washington, D.C. In a D.C. all talent competition, the troupe won first place, which carried the title of '1996 Entertainers of the Year'. In 2001, Frazier published a book on D.C.'s Black swing style titled D.C. Hand Dance: Capitol City Swing. Her book is an 'exploration of the history and culture' of D.C.'s African American swing dance style. Frazier has served as both a guest lecturer and keynote speaker on swing dance and D.C. Hand Dance at the University of the District of Columbia, Anne Arundel Community College in Annapolis, Busboys and Poets in D.C., and for the Prince George's County National Capital Parks and Planning Commission.
