Studio owner, instructor, and choreographer, McKenzee Garrison has been passionate about dance since the age of 4. By 13, she was already assisting with choreography, and in 2020, she turned her lifelong dream into reality by opening her own studio.

With a background in Occupational Therapy, McKenzee blends dance and therapeutic movement to enhance coordination, balance, and confidence in her students. Her heart for inclusion led her to create the Dance-ability Program, offering free classes, shoes, and costumes to children and young adults with disabilities—fully funded by community sponsors.

McKenzee’s students compete across multiple states, earning top awards and scholarships under her guidance. When she’s not at the studio, she works as a middle school career coach, Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant, and embraces her roles as a wife and mom.

She’s a lover of pink, Halloween, Mexican food, and podcasts—and often finds inspiration for her choreography during her daily drives. McKenzee’s mission is simple: to use dance as a powerful tool to uplift, empower, and transform lives.
