Charley has been dancing since the age of three and has trained in a variety of styles, including ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, and contemporary. Growing up, she was a member of a competitive dance team that traveled and competed throughout the Midwest, where she developed a strong technical foundation, performance skills, and a lifelong love of dance.

​

Throughout her early teen years, Charley served as a teacher’s assistant, helping younger dancers build their skills and confidence. It was during this time that her passion for teaching and choreography truly began to grow. As a teenager, she dreamed of one day choreographing routines and leading classes of her own, and today she is grateful to be living that dream.

​

Charley is passionate about creating a positive, encouraging environment where every dancer feels supported, challenged, and inspired. She believes dance is about more than learning technique—it’s about building confidence, discipline, creativity, and lasting friendships. She is honored to share her love of dance with the next generation and looks forward to helping each student grow both as a dancer and as an individual.
