Meet the staff of starbound
Our teachers are more than instructors—they’re mentors, motivators, and role models. We take great pride in the talent, dedication, and heart each staff member brings to our studio. With a commitment to both technical excellence and personal growth, our teachers create a positive and inspiring environment where every dancer can thrive. Their passion for dance and love for teaching is what truly sets our studio apart.
