Meet Addison
Addison is a senior at Tyler Consolidated High School. She has been dancing since she was four years old and for the past seven years, danced competitively.
Since 2018 she has been assisting and teaching dance classes.
In the summer of 2023 she completed a dance internship at The Works Dance Company in South Carolina where she was very hands on with teaching dance and learning the ins and outs of running a dance studio.
Addison is teaching lyrical classes in 2024.
Meet Donna
You’ll see Donna behind the scenes working Customer Service, scheduling events, and making sure everything runs as smoothly as possible.
Donna is a small business coach for the West Virginia Small Business Development Center and is co-owner of Mustard Seed Arts Acadamy and The Spark Center.
She and her husband also own Grown at Home in WV.
Meet Dave
Dave is the studio photographer and videographer. If you see him with a camera or a phone snapping photos, don’t be surprised!
He is also the creative mind behind the products of Grown at Home in WV.
Meet Bill and Shelia
Although both retired, they have jumped in headfirst to help with this crazy idea that we birthed the beginning of 2023 to buy a building and start a business.
From painting to cleaning, general maintance to decorating, there isn’t much they haven’t done.
If you see them around the building, say hi, but if you decide to chat for too long, they will probably hand you a paint brush, hammer or a pair of gloves and give you a task to complete!
