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 and the Angelo State University Angelettes Dance Team Coordinator . |

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.

I love the sport and how it gives those the ability to express themselves in their own unique way. I did tumbling and cheerleading for 6 years. I am currently a three year member on the Tex-Ann drill team. I have earned the position as Senior Lieutenant and love helping and encouraging others to continue their passion for dance. As a teacher, my goal is to help others appreciate dance as much as I do.
