As we head back to dance we would like to feature our 2026-27 Teaching Faculty. Today’s feature is Liberty Lake! We are so excited to have you back for another year!

I began dancing at age 2 and have dedicated the past 16 years to training and performing. I attended Bedford High School, where I was a member of the school’s first-ever dance team. I am currently a member of the Adrian College Dance Team, participating on both the sideline and competitive teams, while majoring in Elementary Education. On campus, I stay highly involved through Greek Life (Chi Omega), and Aspiring Educators of Michigan, and Younglife.
My technical background includes extensive training in ballet, pointe, jazz, hip hop, contemporary, tap, leaps and turns, and Progressive Ballet Training (PBT). I previously trained with Dance Expressions in Holland Ohio, under Brittany Patterson and Merissa Rojas.
I have taken classes from many inspiring performers and choreographers, including Alex Wong, Mollie Gray, Madi Mac, Madeline Underwood (Pinky Sparkles), Dan Terrell, Kelsey Rose Young (So You Think You Can Dance), and Jonte Williams (World of Dance).
Teaching is one of my greatest passions. I’ve served as a teacher, assistant teacher, and substitute instructor. I previously taught Pre, Beginner, and Intermediate Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Hip Hop, and Tumble/Acro.
I also choreographed for the Bedford Dance Team as the Hip-Hop Choreographer for the 2024–2025 season.
Dance has been one of the most influential parts of my life, shaping who I am as a performer, teacher, and person. I’m grateful for this opportunity to share my passion with the next generation of dancers.

🌟Fall classes start September 14.

As we head back to dance we would like to feature our 2026-27 Teaching Faculty. Today’s feature is Lydia VanZandt! We are so grateful to have her at the studio for another year.

Lydia has danced for 15 going on 16 years, and has experience in several styles such as ballet, lyrical, contemporary, jazz, hip hop, and tap. She did competitive dance for 10 years, doing numerous tap solos and eventually adding contemporary. She won several group and solo awards including judges awards, high scores, stand out routine awards, and various placing awards.

During high school she was involved in several activities including band, choir, participating in musicals, and dance.

She graduated with a 4.0 and went on to Jackson College to complete 3 associates degrees in general studies, art, and science through the Early College program, all with high honors.

Currently, she is continuing her studies at Adrian College, majoring in pre-professional exercise science and minoring in music, aiming to eventually become a pediatric physical therapist. She is also involved in the AC dance team and bands and is glad she gets to continue growing her skills.
