Misty Hatcher
Misty began dancing at age 9 at a studio where she took ballet, jazz, tap, and lyrical. Misty danced in several competitions, located in San Antonio and Las Vegas. She continued dancing and joined the drill team as a freshman, then went on to cheer through her senior year at Brewer High School. Misty cheered at Weatherford College and The University of Texas at Arlington before graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Speech Language Pathology at the University of Texas at Dallas.
Misty has several years of experience teaching children, including homeschooling her daughters for the past six years, three years of speech therapy at Key Elementary School, home health, volunteering at a non-profit organization where she taught dance for 3+years, and coaching cheerleading through a youth sports league.
After having two daughters who also love to dance, Misty was inspired to start teaching and sharing her love and passion of dance with them and other children. She has truly been encouraged on this journey by the love and support of her family.
"Dancing has always been a part of my life. Dance is a fine art that I believe is truly beautiful, expressive, and a joyful gift from the Lord. My dream is to share that love, joy, and passion of dance with my students, encourage them, and watch them grow in their dance journey."
Romans 11:36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be Glory forever.
