At Rysing Star, we are an all-inclusive dance studio devoted to providing kids' dance classes of all skill levels with an encouraging environment.

Our Star Staff is very versatile and experienced in many genres. Our teachers stand out from others because they come with all different backgrounds, experience, and a variety of degrees that make a great team! They undergo quarterly training and follow the curriculums that they will become certified in. When hiring, I look at more than skills, and deeper into who they are as a person and a teacher. Each instructor brings something to the table at RSDA, and helps provide your children with a plethora of opportunities. Above all else, we have an incredible star staff filled with teachers who care.
My dance career started almost 30 years ago. I grew up in the entertainment and talent industries- singing, dancing, cheering, playing piano, modeling, and pageants.
I have been teaching and choreographing for over a decade. I have won several golden tickets to worlds events, choreography awards, and my students have taken home titles, regional, and national top placements.
As an adult, I have competed for several years at Dancing with the Ohio Valley Stars, where I have taken home a 3rd place win, 2nd place win, people's choice, and was the season 10 DWTOVS Winner in 2021. I have judged several talent shows and pageants, and have been an assistant cheer coach in the area. I continue to take classes and attend dance conventions all over the US and Australia to expand my dance education and stay up to date with modern trends.
Through the daytime, I work as a Marketing and Development Specialist and occupational therapy assistant, specializing in children with autism. I think the combination of my dance/teaching experience combined with my degree really helps to propel my classes to the next level.
I am certified in intro to preschool dance, strength training and injury prevention, and choreography and composition through CLI studios. I attended and completed Rhee Gold's Dance Teacher Life Conference in 2021. I am also CPR & First Aid Certified, Seizure trained, Med Certified, COTA/L, RBT. In 2022, I was nominated for Who's Who in America and my biography can be found on their website. I was nominated in 2023 for their inner circle and spotlight person within their newest members. I am a member of Wheeling Rotary and the Wheeling Chamber. I was nominated for the Women Empowerment Project of the OV in 2024 and Our studio won #1 dance studio voted on by Quality Business Awards in 2024.
