The Team

Staff

  • BOOKKEEPER

    Maria joined our team just 2 years ago and we already couldn’t image this organization without her. She is a blessing to us in more ways than one as she tackles all things finances! If you ever need to reach her directly, she can be found at bookkeeping@firstpositiondanceco.com

  • INSTRUCTOR

    Hanna joined our team last year and we are so blessed! She is bubbly, outgoing, loves Jesus and connects so well with people! She has been a great addition to our team and we love seeing her pour into the students each week!

  • INSTRUCTOR

    Mikaya started at First Position as one of our founding students at the age of 6 or 7. She has never wavered in her love for Jesus and dancing for Him. She has graduated and is coming back as a teacher to sow into little girls and boys just like she was. We are incredibly blessed to not only watch Mikaya grow up but to see the impact First Position has made on her!

  • PROGRAM DIRECTOR + LEAD INSTRUCTOR

    Aria is a Chippewa Falls local! She has been dancing since 2 years old and has a passion for the beautiful art form of ballet. However, her love for Jesus out weighs her love for dance and she can’t wait to pour out that love to her students! She takes on leadership roles with grace and humility and is a rockstar on our team! We couldn’t do what we do without her dedication and obedience to the Lord!

  • EXECUTIVE & ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

    From First Position’s first days, Talyn has been there! With over 25 years of dance experience, and 15 years in ministry, she continues to pursue her passion in making disciples!
