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 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.
