Hi, I’m Ms. Lani! I began as a competitive gymnast, but my introduction to dance happened because of my younger sister. While she took dance classes, I would watch through the window and try to follow along. My mom noticed and asked if I wanted to dance too—and from that moment on, I was hooked!
I have since been blessed with a life full of dance. I hold a BFA in Dance and spent 10 years working as a professional dancer. This year marks my 19th season teaching dance! Throughout my career, I have taught dancers of all ages and in a variety of styles, while also developing dance curriculums for other teachers. I remember when Acro wasn’t a style and I got to help develop tricks that are now a consistent part of Acro training. Becoming a studio owner has truly been the cherry on top!
I teach Combo Classes, Creative Movement, Acro Level 2, Ballet Level 3, Jazz Level 3, Tap Level 2-3, and Contemporary Level 2-3. You’ll find me at the studio whenever classes are happening.
✨ Fun Facts:
My newest hobby is pet jumping spiders but I they are the only spiders I like.
I have studied and performed circus arts, including Lyra, aerial silks, contortion, and clowning.
My favorite drink is Coke Zero—but I try not to drink it every day!
