Miah PullenOwner and Lead Dance InstructorI didn't realize I wanted to try out for Tex-Ann's until the beginning of my freshman year. I was a cheerleader at Lee Middle School before high school, but did not continue to the high school level. Since I didn't continue cheerleading, I decided to take a Tex-Ann prep class my freshman year at a different studio in town. Even though I had been dancing my whole life, I realized that drill team dancing is a different type of dancing and I struggled in the beginning to learn the different kinds of dance technique. In May 2012 I made Tex-Ann's for the upcoming season and I absolutely fell in love with everything about being a Tex-Ann. I was honored to be a Junior Lieutenant my junior year of Tex-Ann's and Co-Captain my senior year.
It was so amazing to lead my team for 2 years in a row. I have learned how to lead and teach others, including my own peers. I have a true passion for helping and teaching others. This is my fifth year teaching and I absolutely love it! I'm also a Government instructor at Howard College. |

Holly Harris
Dance InstructorI was a three year member, serving as Senior Lieutenant my senior year. Drill team technique and dancing is my strong suit, I have spent many years perfecting my abilities before, during, and after my career as a Tex-Ann. I have attended many intense drill team camps to better my technique as a dancer. While being a Tex-Ann I had the opportunity of teaching and helping perfect a group of dancers. I am excited to share my knowledge of dance with others and look forward to sharing this with a Tex-Ann Prep class of my very own. I am currently attending Howard College where I am pursuing an Associate of Science in Respiratory Therapy.

Teresa WinegeartDance InstructorI began my dance career when I was 3 years old in Lubbock, Texas at The Dance Gallery. My love for dance took off and has never ended. I was trained in ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, and later in pointe. As I grew up I was given many different opportunities to grow in skill and performance ability through intensives, competitions, camps, and performances. As a freshman in high school I even had the opportunity to dance in the Disneyland Christmas Parade. Throughout middle school and high school, I worked closely with dance professors at Texas Tech University for many different productions. I had always dreamed of becoming a collegiate dancer. My dreams came true my senior year when I tried out and made the ASU Angelettes. I am currently pursuing my MBA online through Texas Tech University and work full-time for Angelo State University as the Student Programs and Activities Coordinator.

Genie KimDance InstructorI am originally from Busan, South Korea. I had begun my dance training here in San Angelo at the age of 3 years old. After my dance instructor discontinued teaching, I took a break until I grew interest in becoming a Tex-Ann. I served 3 years being a member on the team and was truly humbled with the opportunity of taking the role as Senior Lieutenant my senior year. I learned many things being on the team including leadership, confidence and perseverance. I enjoyed all variations of dance but my strength lies in technique and kick, in which I achieved an award for in HTE Kick Academy in 2015. I am thrilled to be sharing my knowledge and passion for dance to others and my goal is to help my students achieve to their fullest potential. I am currently a Sophomore at Angelo State University pursing a degree in Nursing and Psychology.

Maloree MillsDance AssistantI never really wanted to be a Tex- Ann or too involved in dance. I loved dancing, but I thought that being a cheerleader was what I wanted. Although, when my sister Miriam made me try out for Tex-Anns with her, it completely stole my heart. As a junior in high school, it’s my second year of Tex-Anns and it’s teaching me all about patience, work ethic, and leadership. I love getting to share the magic of dance with others because once you become involved, it stays with you forever.

Ashley WelchDance InstructorI did gymnastics, tap & ballet when I was younger. In elementary I was introduced into the cheerleading world and was a part of Super Squad in fifth & sixth grade. I continued cheerleading all three years at Lee Jr. High. My interest peaked again for dance when I saw the Tex-Anns perform at a freshman orientation for Central High School. I was a part of Tex-Anns all three years at Central. I had the privilege of being on the officer line my junior year as 2nd Lt. and senior year as Co-Captain. I knew I wanted to continue dancing so I tried out for the ASU Angelettes and made it! I danced for ASU for one semester and not long after was on the Stampede Express Arena Football dance team for two years. After that I tried out for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. I did not make the team, although it was a great learning experience for me. Finally, I danced for one year for the Bandits Arena Football team. All these years I have learned my strengths in dance are being able to pick up routines quickly and flexibility.
