Miah PullenOwnerI was born and raised in Texas, and began dancing at the age of two. My passion for dance was intensified in high school when I was on the high school's drill team, which is one of the oldest drill teams in the state of Texas. On the team I served as Junior Lt. and Co-Captain my senior year, where I enhanced my dance skills, but also my leadership skills. After high school and entering college, I started renting out a local studio to teach dance team prep classes for dancers who wanted to try out for the high school dance team. The business eventually grew enough to where I was able to open her own studio in August 2017, where in my first year open I ended the season with 180 dancers! The studio now has around 450+ dancers. I wanted to keep expanding my love and passion for dance, hence the Abilene location! Also in February 2021, we launched our online dance studio for kids, Dance with Me. I was also the coordinator for the Angelo State Angelettes dance team for 3 years from 2017-2021, and I'm a college instructor at Howard College. I have been married to my husband Ronnie (and now business partner) for over two years and we have two whippets, Ellie and Brock.

Olivia AllenDance/Acro InstructorI started dance in Houston, Texas when I was 3 years old and have been dancing ever since. I have always had a passion for dance. 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 was a three year member on the Tex-Ann drill team and a Senior Lieutenant my senior year at Central High School. I am currently studying Biology and Chemistry at ASU and am working on getting into medical school. I love helping and encouraging others to continue their passion for dance. As a teacher, my goal is boost confidence, and help others appreciate dance as much as I do.
Kaylen ShetlerElite Teams Director and Dance InstructorI have been dancing since I was 3 years old, studying many styles including tap, ballet, hiphop, lyrical, acro, etc. Moving around a lot growing up made it difficult to find a home studio, but I’ve stuck to my love for dance through all the ups and downs. I went to Hendrickson High School in my hometown Pflugerville, TX and freshman year I made my school’s drill team, the Silver Dancers. I was on the team through my senior year, and served as a Social Officer my junior year. Being a Silver Dancer taught me so many life lessons and provided me with once in a lifetime opportunities, such as getting to perform with my team in the national St. Patrick’s Day parade in Cork, Ireland. Currently, I am a student at ASU, majoring in Intelligence and Analysis with a minor in Mathematics, and will potentially be adding a second major in Cybersecurity. I just finished my first year as an Angelette, and am loving being a collegiate dancer. I also am a member of ASU’s Honors College and am involved in Younglife.
