Rebecca Hansen - Director & Instructor

Rebecca began lessons at age four and has been dancing ever since! In pursuit of a professional career and leaving home at age fourteen, Rebecca had the privilege of studying with some of the world's finest dancers and instructors at American Ballet Theater in New York, Royal Academy of Dancing in London England, Royal Winnepeg Ballet in Canada, and the Bolshoi of Russia.  As a student, dancer, and instructor, Rebecca is experienced and accomplished in many dance genres including ballroom, tap, jazz, hip hop, tap, lyrical, and most notably ballet to which she is a nationally certified Ballet and Pilates instructor.  Rebecca loves sharing her passion for dance not only as an instructor but also as an advocate for dance & arts organizations and has served in several capacities on the boards of Civic Dance Association, USA Dance, and Dance Network of SD.  She especially enjoys working with children, having been an instructor and choreographer for a span of four decades throughout the Midwest region.

Lydia started lessons with the studio at age 7, becoming an accomplished dancer in several genres to include Ballet, Hip Hop, Jazz, Musical Theater, and Lyrical. In 2015 she received the Reverence Scholarship award.  Having completed her Teacher Certification, Lydia is now part of our dynamic staff here at Dance 2 Studio.  As a teacher, Miss Lydia's goal is to ensure that student's will not only learn dance effectively, but will equally experience the joy in dancing too. 

Kadie Huls - Instructor

Callie Stadheim - Instructor

At age six, Callie began her dance journey at our studio and advanced quickly – being promoted into our top level ballet class at a considerably younger age than most.  Though ballet is her first love, Callie enjoys other dance genres and is an accomplished Tap dancer with experience in Musical Theater as well. Having recently completed her Teaching Certification and joining our staff, Callie especially looks forward to sharing her knowledge and working with our younger students – especially if she gets to be their first ever dance teacher!

Cassie Waltner - Instructor

Cassie came to our studio as a shy and timid seven year old – now transformed into a confident, strong dancer. With experience in Ballet and Lyrical, along with having recently passed her Teacher Certification, Miss Cassie is poised and at the ready to share her knowledge with students. As a teacher, one of her many goals is to help students have the same experience she did, of discovering the confidence, joy, and strength within themselves that dance helps bring to light.

Madalyn Cain - Instructor

Dancing since age four, Madalyn came to us from another studio, seeking a better match for her aspirations and work ethic. Always putting herself to the test, she has worked up through the ranks in her study of Ballet, Lyrical, and Hip Hop. Now having passed her Teacher Certification, Madalyn is happy to become part of the staff – ready to challenge herself as well as her students while nurturing them in their own dance journeys.
