BA in Dance from ODU; ongoing training in teaching practice and studio safety.

Collaborates with teammates so curriculum feels connected studio-wide.
Ballet will always be home base for me.
I light up when a dancer finally owns a combo they've fought for.
Ms. Kiley

Mrs. Lindsey
Russian-style ballet trained since age four across ballet, pointe, jazz, tap, and lyrical, with ballet as my lifelong favorite.
Strong classical vocabulary and thoughtful pointe progressions.
