Our Mission
My name is Michelle Bauer and I was raised here in Colorado, and have spent the last 20 years in New York City and Orlando Fl. I have recently moved back and want to bring my theatrical experience to Northern Colorado and share it with the families here. I have been in the entertainment business working as a professional actress and director since 1990. I have worked at Walt Disney World, traveled the world performing on cruise ships, worked at numerous professional theaters and directed over 40 different productions for children between the ages of 3 thru 18, plus raise my 3 kids.
Clare began dance classes at age 2. She attended a performing arts academy in San Diego through elementary and middle school, learning ballet, tap, jazz, and modern. She often performed in exhibitions, occasional theater productions, and talent shows. She also did jazz dance competitions while in middle school. In high school she put together her own dance performance show as a senior including many dancers who had never danced before. At 18, she began learning how to partner dance, primarily in West Coast Swing but including other ballroom and western style dances. She loves to dance and is looking forward to sharing her enthusiasm with new dancers!
I think there is no world without theatre.
