Brianna Waite
โโโ
Brianna Waite began her dance training at a young age and was accepted into a competitive company at Suzanne’s Dance School, where she trained and competed through high school. During that time, she earned overall awards and scholarships while building a strong technical and performance foundation.
โ
She trained extensively in ballet, pointe, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, tap, and acrobatics, and was a featured dancer within her ballet program, performing leading roles and developing a strong classical foundation. Throughout her training, she also had the opportunity to work with industry professionals, including choreographers and performers from So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars, as well as training under instructors with professional and judging experience at the highest levels of the industry.
โ
Brianna continued her training at BYU-Idaho, where she was a member of the Dance Alliance Touring Team, performing across multiple states and gaining extensive experience in performance and partner work. Her collegiate training emphasized modern dance while also incorporating ballroom, international Latin, and world dance styles, giving her a well rounded and versatile background.
โ
In addition to her collegiate training, Brianna has performed in professional settings including musical theatre, where she played a lead role in Cats, and performed in a Christmas production alongside The King’s Men. She has also been involved in traveling performances and stage productions, further developing her experience as a professional dancer.
โ
Brianna has spent years choreographing, training, and mentoring dancers at multiple levels. Her experience as both a professional dancer and instructor has shaped her approach to training, focusing on structure, discipline, and intentional development.
โ
She is the founder and director of Studio B Dance Academy, where she has built a program centered around strong, true technique, individualized training, and purposeful progression.
โ
At Studio B, dancers are not trained through a one size fits all approach. Each dancer is challenged, supported, and developed based on their individual strengths and goals.
โ
This is not a copy and paste approach to training. This is intentional development.
