ABOUT
Hi, I'm Haley!
I've been working in youth performing arts since I was just a kid myself. What began as a passion for performing developed into a deep desire to share that love with others!
​
No really... I tried to make my mom open a dance studio when I was just ten years old so I could teach at it when I grew up. It took us just a few more years than that to realize the dream, but here we are, and I couldn't be more excited!
The performing arts changed my life, and I know that it can change your kid's life as well. Here at Cascade School of Performing Arts, we strive to build a strong and encouraging community so that your kid can thrive and grow.

I cant wait to see you at the studio!
