Sierra has been with Dance FX Studios since June of 2019 with her greatest accomplishment in dance being when she became Dance FX Studios Owner in October of 2020! She has always had a passion for dancing and for helping people. As a dance instructor, she is able to share her passion and empower others to do something she loves. She enjoys teaching all styles of dance as they each have their own personality. Her favorite styles to dance are West Coast Swing and Argentine Tango because they are very smooth and require more communication with her dance partner. Outside the studio, Sierra loves being outdoors and doing any activity that challenges her!

“My husband and I have been taking lessons here for a few months and we absolutely love it! My husband surprised me with five lessons for my birthday and we enjoyed it so much that we signed up for more. Sierra is a fantastic instructor—she’s an excellent dancer and more importantly she makes every lesson fun! We were complete novices when we started but we never felt out of place and Sierra was super encouraging. If you’re considering taking lessons I can’t recommend Dance FX highly enough!“

Kaelynn has been immersed in the world of social dancing since her childhood and has an insatiable craving for always learning more. Drawing from her upbringing in her family’s studio, Kaelynn inspires to not just teach but innovate and elevate the experience! Her favorite style is Argentine Tango and she hopes to continue on the family tradition of teaching it. When she’s not teaching, or out using her dancing skills, she is also a full-time mother of two!

“My fiancé and I decided we wanted to get a package of classes to help us with our country swing. Kaelynn has been our instructor and has been wonderful to work with from the start! She’s very helpful and makes sure we learn each move correctly, and will go over everything until we get it down! We will definitely be back for help with our first dance once the package is done! Highly recommend if you’re looking to take dance lessons!”

Yeh has been an instructor for over 26 years. He comes from a Fred Astaire background and has competed across the world. He is the backbone of the Studio when it comes to experience and has co-created much of the Syllabus. He has a lot of his own students that will come to the Studio, but we also have the pleasure of sharing his knowledge with our Students! Outside the Studio, Yeh spends his time laying out at his pool, doing Martial Arts and practicing his Spanish.

“I feel grateful for my dancing to have Mr. JC Yeh as my instructor. Grateful for his knowledge, his ability to teach, his professionalism, his patience and his sense of humor. He honors the individual and what they need and want in their dancing, whether it’s social, performance, competitive, or away to be in tune with yourself through dancing.

I feel grateful because he cares and is passionate about his profession. He cares about you as an individual, your dancing, and your understanding of dance. He is not a surface teacher making you look good on the outside without truly giving you the knowledge within to understand the essence of movement in dance. He is able to convey his knowledge of dance in a fun and easy way. His teaching is multidimensional, so it doesn’t matter what type of learner you are; visual, auditory, kinesthetic … he is able to meet your learning needs.

I feel grateful for the friendships I have gained through learning to dance with Mr. Yeh. I have met so many wonderful people because they too share a love for dance. I may never have met them, if not for being a student of Mr. JC Yeh’s.“

Hailey has always had a passion for movement and rhythm. Her favorite dance styles, Salsa and Bachata, reflect her love for partner dancing and the unique connection it fosters between individuals. Having devoted most of her life to dance, she values the art form’s ability to create a distinctive form of communication and expression. As an instructor at our studio, Hailey brings not only her expertise in dance but also her infectious enthusiasm for the joy of movement.

“My husband and I started lessons at Dance FX with Hailey. She is incredibly sweet and patient with us as we stumble through new material. I highly recommend them!“
