Haylee Whitney
Ballet/Contemporary Instructor
I have been dancing since the age of 4 and teaching sine I was 17. I danced competitively for four years and then became a coach and choreographer. I have choreographed musicals, tap, competitive lyrical and contemporary. I can't wait to help my students improve their technique as well as help them learn how to emotionally connect to their dances and express themselves onstage.
