Alana Koolen
Artistic Director, CEO
Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary, AIDT
Alana’s vision for Young At Arts Dance Academy is that it is a place where dance is for everyone. Her belief is that dance is an important tool that creates well rounded and driven young people who go on to have the desire and dedication to achieve their goals. A studio is a family, where faculty and students support and encourage each other while working together to create an environment free of judgment, peer pressure, or bullying. All dancers no matter their age, ability, or skill are valued. This is how she grew up learning that dance should be, and this is how she intends to share her love of dance with the next generation.
