Ms. Paige Edwards, Dance Director
Paige Edwards' love for dance began around the age of five at APAC Studio with a focus on ballet, tap, jazz, and lyrical. Some of her favorite adolescent memories were during her Drill Team days as a Jersey Village Gold Duster where she helped lead the team each year serving as Junior Lieutenant and Colonel her junior and senior year. She completed her Bachelor's in Business Administration and a Dance Minor while dancing and teaching with student organizations such as Fade to Black and Dance Arts Society at Texas A&M. After graduation, she completed a dance & business internship through Performing Arts Abroad in Barcelona, Spain with Varium Espai de Moviment and has experience teaching and dancing with various studios in Austin. In the Fall of 2018 - Spring 2021 she was the Dance Teacher and Drill Team Director for LBJ/LASA First Ladies and looks forward to the opportunity to establish the LASA Velocity Dance Team and further develop the LASA Dance program! Ms. Edwards is also trained with a 200 Vinyasa YTT through Wanderlust Yoga and incorporates many practices such as meditation, movement, and overall health and wellness into her teachings. To her, dance is a beautiful source of creativity, health, friendship, and a way to connect with your community, and she loves to inspire these joys within her students.
