Deanna is a North Carolina native, where she discovered her love for dance at age 10 and started assistant teaching at age 13. She quickly got involved with local musical theatre and went on the dance professionally in productions with the North Carolina Theatre, her favorites being A Chorus Line, Singin’ In The Rain, Oklahoma, and Jesus Christ Superstar. Her dance experience has spanned over many studios, teachers, and styles. She has studied under such esteemed artists as Shamil Yagudin, Frank Hatchett, Mitzi Hamilton, and Luigi.

Her most recent obsession is with the practice of yoga, and will use her Yoga Alliance Teacher Certification to teach fantastic yoga classes.
