BECKY ABBOTT - STUDIO OWNER

Ballet, Tap, Clogging, Hip Hop, Cheer, Certified USA Gymnastics Instructor, Show Stoppers & Dazzlers Team Director & Instructor

I was born and raised in Salmon, Idaho. I started dancing when I was 3 years old. When I was little there wasn’t a studio in my home town, so my mom would drive me every week to dance lessons 6 hours round trip. I am so grateful for her sacrifice and helping me to realize at a young age I wanted to be a dance teacher and give kids the opportunity to learn to dance/tumble/cheer close to home and love it as I do.

Growing up I took tap, ballet, modern, clogging, jazz, and gymnastics. I was a cheerleader for 2 years in Jr. High and 4 years in High School, being team captain 4 of those years. I attend Ricks College for a year, taking dance classes. I taught for 3 years at the studio I took from before following my husband to Boise. I was an assistant cheerleading coach at Centennial High School from 1996 - 1997. I started Becky’s Dance Co. out of my garage 25 years ago, in an effort to fulfill this life long dream of mine, of owning my own studio.

I love seeing my students learn and grow and most of all have better self esteem as they leave my studio each week. That is my main goal, for them to feel better about themselves and love dance/cheer/gymnastics as I do. I love teaching dance & gymnastics & spending time with my family! I have a great family support system, my husband Brad and my 8 children.
