Meg and Kyle Minter both attended the University of Texas in Austin, where they were college sweethearts, though their story goes back much further. The two met in middle school, stayed friends through high school, and finally made it official when Meg asked Kyle out. For their first date, he took her to Schlotzsky’s, and the rest is history!

Meg is the proud owner and Artistic Director of the Studio of MoveMINT dance studio, a bustling business that serves over 800 students, including many from the Ridglea area. Kyle, meanwhile, is a Senior Managing Director at Newmark. Together, they share a love for UT football, family travel, and dance parties in the living room—a fitting family tradition given Meg’s passion for dance.

The Minter kids, Major (8) and Stella (12), are just as active as their parents. Major, a third grader, and Stella, a seventh grader, participate in dance, football, baseball, and cheer. Their home wouldn’t be complete without their pets: Meatball the Aussiedoodle, Prima the Frenchie, and Pepperoni the cat.

A big part of the Minter family’s heart belongs to travel. With an Airbnb in Austin, they frequently enjoy weekends back in their old college town but have also traveled extensively as a family, exploring destinations like Italy, Greece, Thailand, Singapore, the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Belize, and Costa Rica. Their passion for experiencing new places together has made them a “big travel family,” and they cherish the memories made along the way.

In their neighborhood, the Minters have made strong connections, especially with their elderly neighbors, whom they check on and bring meals to. The family is grateful for the sense of community Ridglea brings, and they give back in meaningful ways. Through Meg’s studio, they support local schools and serve families across Fort Worth, bringing the joy of dance to countless children. As Meg says, “God led us to Fort Worth, and we are abundantly grateful.”

Be sure to say hello to the Minters when you see them around the neighborhood! They’re always ready to share a smile, a story, or perhaps a quick dance move or two.
