Meet Our Team

Owner/Director

Hello and welcome! My name is Ms. Sam, and I’m honored to share my love of dance with you through Royalty Dance Studio.

My dance journey began at the age of four and quickly grew into a lifelong passion. Dance was always more than just movement. It was a safe space, a creative outlet, and a place where I could grow in both confidence and connection. As I got older, I discovered my heart for teaching and found deep fulfillment in helping young dancers thrive.

After the pandemic, I made the leap to pursue dance education full-time. I was incredibly fortunate to work with the talented team at South Sound Dance in Tumwater, where I refined my teaching craft and deepened my commitment to high-quality, inclusive instruction. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Hannah and her team for their guidance and inspiration.

When I relocated to Eastern Washington, I embraced the opportunity to continue teaching, and soon after, the dream of opening my own studio became a reality. Royalty Dance Studio was born out of a desire to create a welcoming, empowering, and joyful environment where dancers of all ages and abilities could feel seen, celebrated, and challenged.

When I’m not teaching, I proudly serve as a volunteer firefighter and EMT. A role that has taught me strength, resilience, and the value of community in a whole new way.

Royalty Dance Studio is more than a business. It's a dream built with heart and held up by the incredible families who walk through our doors. I’m so thankful for the support that continues to make this vision possible. This studio belongs to all of us, and I can't wait for you to be part of our dance family.
