Carissa Whitson came to our studio some 14 years ago as a student. Since that time she has blossomed into a beautiful dancer having studied all the necessary fields in Tap, Jazz, Ballet and Lyrical.
She is one of our original Top Notch members that in itself has brought our studio countless top awards. As a soloist she had earned the Sweepstakes honors at the 1996 Norco Fair. In 1997 she was selected to be Miss Junior Rainbow, held in Las Vegas. In 1999 as Miss Teen Super Talent.
She was part of the Elite Olympic team that danced in Sydney. Carissa is in her 7th year as a teacher for our studio and does a very nice job preparing the students for their performances.
Aside from her studio activities, she signed with DDO dance agency and modeled for the "Funky Diva" magazine. In the past year she filmed a clothing commercial that aired in Finland in which she danced and also has starred in the MTV show "NEXT". Carissa was also a semi-finalist for the Elite Spotlighters scholarship awards. She is well liked by all and has a promising future in the field of dance.

Stephanie Ferguson began dancing with us at age five having been with our studio for over 30 years now. She demonstrated for many classes in her early teens and today utilizes that early knowledge of tap, jazz, ballet and lyrical in becoming a well rounded and very effective teacher for us.
As a previous member of various Freddie Finn lines, she had won many awards. Her creativity is ever so essential in the development of our younger dancers. Stephanie is stern, but ever so effective, as she maintains her loving and dedicated method of instructions.
In addition to her regular teaching dance schedule at the studio, she also choreographed our Freddie Finn Tap Production routine "Me Ol' Bamboo" as well as the Freddie Finn Jazz Company 2's "Queen Rocks" and Top Of The Line's "Don't Tell Mama", along with the Freddie Finn Dancer's "Cell Block Tango
This is my current dance teacher.
