Meet Our Teachers
Gillian
Director, Acro, Hip Hop, Ballet, Jazz
Hello ! My name is Gillian, and I am so excited to be a part of the team here at The Studio! This year I will be taking on an exciting new role as the Studio Director while also teaching some fun Hip Hop, Acro, Pom, Jazz and Ballet classes! The thing I love most about The Studio is the energy that our dancers bring into all of our classes. This year will be my 8th year teaching dance, and I am so excited to spend it sharing my true passion with such a beautiful community. I can’t wait to get groovin’ with YOU!
Sydney
Ballet, Hip Hop, Contemporary
My name is Sydney Baker and I am a new teacher at The Studio! I am originally from Yakima, Washington and just graduated from Central Washington University (CWU) this past June with my degree in Dance. At CWU I was a member of the Orchesis Dance Company and the CWU Dance Team. I have been dancing for 19 years and my favorite style of dance is contemporary. I am so excited to teach at The Studio and hope to share my passion for dance with my students.
Katie
Ballet, Modern
Hi! I’m Katie and dance is my favorite way to express myself. I started ballet in middle school and then added modern and swing. I’ve been teaching all ages since high school and love inspiring others to be their best and try new things in their dancing. Besides dancing, I love spending time with my husband and 3 kids, adventuring to new places, being a doula and gardening!

Becky
Youth Choir
Hi! My name is Becky Griswold and I am thrilled to be joining The Studio team! I
have been playing piano and singing since the age of 3 and sharing music with
others is my passion. With 17+ years of teaching experience both in Seattle and
here in Ellensburg, and more than 22 years of performance experience, I am
excited to start a music program for local kids to enjoy outside of the school
setting. I have also served as the music director for several local Valley Musical
Theatre productions, and I am the current Director of Music for EHS Winter
Musicals. I’m excited and enthusiastic about sharing my knowledge of musical
styles with young kids in a fun, safe, and energetic environment.
