Teaching Little Children has definitely allowed me to operate in my passion. I just love kids and after 30 + years I still get so excited to have the opportunity to love on our dancers while watching them learn their newest dance steps.

Lauren Stacks-Mitchell
Musical Theatre, Preschool, & Studio Administrator
I graduated with honors in 2018 with a BFA in Musical Theatre and minors in Dance & Studio Arts. I’m the lady you will usually see sitting behind the desk at the studio answering phones and emails and planning crafts with the kids. I regularly teach in our local day care programs and occasionally substitute teach our studio classes. When I'm not behind the desk, I teach ballroom dance lessons and create paintings and custom coloring pages by commission.

Taia Galloway
Acro, Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Tap, Preschool & Company
I have trained in dance for 17 years. I have attended summer intensives at Atlanta Ballet, Joffrey West Los Angeles, and Dance Canvas. While dancing in Los Angeles, I was fortunate to train and perform under well-known choreographers such as Talia Favia, Zak Ryan Scheigel, and Chaz Buzan. Throughout my training, I have studied a wide breadth of genres including ballet, pointe, contemporary, modern, jazz, hip hop, and tap. Recently, I studied abroad in Amsterdam dancing among European professional dancers and working with a multitude of European choreographers. Currently, I am a senior at Kennesaw State University double majoring in Exercise Science and Dance with a ballet concentration. I aspire to be a great influence for my students and am looking forward to creating an engaging environment for young dancers.

Maigan Cottingham
Ballet, Jazz, Tap & Preschool
I have been a lover of dance my entire life. I started dancing at the age of 2 and have never stopped. It has been a life long passion and I am so thankful to have gotten the dance career of my dreams. Growing up, I danced with a dance company. I preformed in countless Nutcracker productions and traveled with my company as well. We preformed at festivals, parades, and even Disney. Though, the most exciting was going to New York and taking a class with the Rockettes. While I have studied several forms of dance, tap and ballet hold a special place in my heart. I hope that I am able to pass my love to dance to my students and help them create life long memories.

Liane Chudy
Preschool
Shortly after I arrived from Korea to live in the United States when I was six years old, I began
training in ballet and jazz. I attended LaGrange College where I earned a B.A. degree in
business. I am a former certified Sh'bam dance fitness instructor through Golds Gym's Les Mills
program. During my spare time I enjoy participating in Dancentre South’s production of the Nutcracker, taking dance lessons and spending time with my husband and three children. I am
thrilled to share my love of dance with the next generation of children, and I hope to instill
confidence, grace and the beauty of dance within them.
