Meet our incredible instructors!!!

Kayla believes that dance is about so much more than learning choreography—it’s about building confidence, finding your voice, and learning to believe in yourself. She loves speaking positivity into her students while encouraging them to step outside of their comfort zones, try new things, and discover what they are capable of. Her goal is to create an environment where every dancer feels supported, encouraged, and proud of their progress.

Outside of the studio, Kayla enjoys spending time with her husband, traveling, listening to live music, reading, and renovating homes throughout the community. She is grateful to be able to combine her love of dance with the opportunity to help young dancers grow both on and off the stage.
