ABOUT holly

I began dancing at a young age with a fitness focus right along side from college days to current. From dance teams to private studio work, convention and competition; as a dancer and teacher it feels like I've covered it all. I love my time choreographing and I am always up for a dance party! Movement is where it's at to stay healthy mind, body and soul!!!

I am also a mom and wife to my super, wonderful, crazy family. I love the ocean, with the Outer Banks and Maui among my top places to visit. Music is the best part of any day and so necessary. I love all kinds of genres, and my home is full of budding musicians. Needtobreathe is my absolute top live experience, besides my kids, and their music is on play often during my daily life journey.

About Caroline

I grew up dancing competitively, training in a variety of styles from ballet, to jazz, to hip hop. I was accepted into the dance program at the University of Iowa, where I primarily studied modern, and ballet. I spent one season cheering in the Indoor Football League for the Cedar Rapids Titans, and three seasons in the USHL with the Cedar Rapids Rough Riders. I just completed my 6th season with the Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders, where I was Captain for two seasons, and a Co- Captain for one season. I officially turned in my pom poms this year, and feel blessed to have ended my professional cheering career with a Super Bowl win at Super Bowl 54. What a way to go out! I am so grateful for all of my mentors, instructors, and coaches who have led me to where I am today as a dancer.

I love sculpt yoga, brunching with friends, being an aunt to three nephews and two nieces, and playing with my fuzzy grey kitten, Fitzpatrick.

Cameron’S CLASs

Dance/r Strength and Contemporary Combo - While dancing you use and work muscles you never thought you could. Strengthening and identifying these muscles from head to toe is key when training in any style of dance. In this class you will do short exercises to engage all muscle groups. Along with that you will learn a contemporary combo that will tap into a variety of emotions.

Tyra’s class

about Tyra

After thinking running the Chicago marathon was a great idea in 2015, I started my Yoga journey when I came to my mat to heal. I have been teaching, managing, consulting and educating on an international level from Greece to Australia. While consulting in Australia, I worked with AFL teams and V8 race car drivers while receiving my Pilates mat and reformer training. When returning back to the States in early 2019, I added Barre into my repertoire.

I have a sustainable hair accessory line launching in July catered to teach girls about fashion and technology using 3D printing. I have two beautiful fur babies, Sir and Ma'am, that keep me sane and sassy. Traveling has always been apart of me and reminds me what life is all about, connecting. I have been working on an education program called H.E.A.L catered towards anyone who is displaced in either body or mind with the help of using improv, movement and music.

Sadie’s class

Tap Combo (All Levels) - Expand your tap knowledge with this class that focuses on weight changes, learning choreography, and getting that extra pick-up just right! All levels are welcome and will be given modification options along the way. Tap shoes recommended.

about sadie

I was kicked out of gymnastics at the age of 3 because I wouldn't stay on my carpet square. My parents crossed their fingers and put me in my first dance class. They gave me tap shoes and it was love at first step. I’ve trained in a variety of styles, but tap is my absolute favorite. Who doesn't love making noise with their feet?! I grew up dancing competitively in the Kansas City area and I graduated from University of Saint Mary with a bachelor’s degree in Theater. Outside of teaching in a classroom I’ve choregraphed for local community theatre productions, high school/college dance teams, fundraisers, weddings and co-founded summer theatre programs. I feel blessed to be a part of the DFF community!

By day I’m an event coordinator for Nebraska Furniture Mart and enjoy working on projects that involve the community. When I’m not dancing or planning events you can find me spending all my money on books, loving on my old man pit bull, and having board game nights with my family.

Dalton’S CLASS

Barre - A 45 minute, cardio-packed, ballet-inspired sequence with a lotta energy, a lil sass and a playlist that will (hopefully) make you wanna shake it on your mat. I consider it "barre fusion" - so it's equal parts barre, mat work, and full body sculpt.

ABOUT dalton

I have been teaching barre since early 2022 in the KC area, but also have a background in yoga, pilates and *mild* dance (I used to consider myself an "advanced mover").

I'm an avid thrifter (literally catch me at Savers any given Monday), a BIG world traveler, an outdoor adventurer, a hopeless romantic, and a movie fanatic (you better believe I have an AMC membership) who loves a good themed dance party or cocktail with a view.
