“Kaylee has been instrumental to my dance career. She is the first dance teacher who took my dance résumé seriously and began building it for me. Conventions, awards, competitions, skill-building, and character-building classes have been ingrained in me from the start due to her attention to detail, drive, and passion as a coach. Not only did she have me dance above my grade beginning in the eighth grade to my high school dance team, but she is constantly raising the bar for choreography for her students in order to get them to places where they need to be.

I give her all the credit to instilling extra amounts of self-worth, confidence, and passion for the sport in me. I have always looked up to her from a young age and continue to do so as I am so proud of the studio she has built, the mentorship she brings to young hearts and minds, and everything she brings to the table as a dance coach. I have since gone on to become a member of the University of Kentucky dance team and am currently working as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, dancing on stages around the U.S. and sharing them with people like Dolly Parton, the Jonas Brothers, Queen, and Kacey Musgraves, and my journey with taking dance seriously all began with Kaylee! ”
