Miss Kayla found her love for dance and movement at a very young age. Her training began at The Dancer’s School in Murfreesboro, Tennessee under the direction of Jimmi Lou Tate. While at The Dancer’s School, Miss Kayla trained in a variety of styles including Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Hip Hop, and Contemporary under the instruction of Rachel Rebottaro Catalano, Jordan Tate, Jimmi Lou Tate, and Sara Raines. During these early years of training, Miss Kayla was given the opportunity to assist her instructors in teaching preschool and early elementary dancers. It was here that her passion for teaching began. To further her education, Miss Kayla attended Illinois State University on a performance scholarship for Dance and was given the opportunity to attend Edge Hill University in Ormskirk, England on scholarship for Theatre and Dance. She would go on to receive her Bachelors of Arts Degree in Theatre and Dance. After graduation, Miss Kayla relocated to Colorado to dive deeper into her love for dance education.
