About
Kayla Smith
Welcome to our Dance Studio! From a young age, I dreamed of owning my own studio and sharing my passion for dance. I’ve been dancing since before I was born, and my journey being an officer on the Golden Girls dance team and training with HTE dance company in high school. I began teaching at 15 at a local studio where I also trained, earning numerous awards for both my performances and choreography, including national championships. I can't wait to share my love of dance with your children and inspire them just as I have with my own two girls!
Aryn
Aryn is originally from West Virginia and has called Texas home for the past seven years. She brings over 20 years of dance experience to the studio and is classically trained in ballet. Aryn has danced with Potomac Classical Youth Ballet Company, Antietam Ballet, and West Virginia Wesleyan College, where she also danced on scholarship.
This year, she is excited to share her love of ballet with students. Aryn believes that all dancers—regardless of background—can find common ground through movement. Her teaching philosophy emphasizes that, with the right guidance, ballet can become a lifelong passion. She also believes the discipline of ballet extends far beyond the studio, helping students build academic success, self-confidence, and personal growth.
Michelle
Originally from Irving, Texas, Michelle has called Kerrville home for the past three years. Trained in ballet, jazz, hip hop and lyrical at Forcher’s Dance Center, she developed a solid technical foundation and a lifelong passion for dance. She competed as a member of the Dance Force Dance Team, gaining valuable experience in precision, performance, and team collaboration.
Her performance background includes being a member of Momentum Dance Company and proudly serving as a member and captain of the 66th line of the Apache Belles. During her time with the Belles, she had the honor of traveling to South Korea and Japan to entertain U.S. troops—an experience that combined her love for dance with a deep appreciation for connection through the arts.
She previously taught at Baila Irving Performing Arts Academy, where she shared her passion for dance while helping students grow in skill, confidence, and stage presence. With a blend of discipline and enthusiasm, Michelle is committed to inspiring and empowering the next generation of dancers.
