Hi, I’m Kayla Sloan — and I help adults reconnect with joy through dance.

I started my ballroom teaching career at age 20 in Hendersonville, TN. I’ll never forget one of my first coaches saying, “Wow! That’s really OLD to get started. But good for you, I guess.” 😅

That moment lit a fire in me.

I didn’t grow up with access to dance classes or extracurriculars. Like a lot of folks, I was counting on adulthood to give me the freedom to explore something new. So when I started teaching, I made it my mission to help other adults experience what I hadn’t been given:

✨ The chance to try something new
✨ The freedom to learn without shame
✨ The joy of moving in your own body, at your own pace

For the past 19 years, teaching adults partner dance has been my passion — and my protest against the idea that you’re ever “too old,” “too out of shape,” or “too late” to begin.

In 2016, I took my desire to help adults find confidence on the dance floor…into the Wedding Industry. I can honestly say I was surprised by the sense of joy this side of teaching brings me. I love helping couples create the dance of their dreams, no matter how simple or extravagant. And my favorite part is the parent dances. Watching parents spend time with their adult children while learning something new together is a unique experience to witness.

That same year I also discovered my favorite social dance… West Coast Swing. a dance that’s playful, expressive, and constantly evolving. It taught me the beauty of adaptability and the joy of improvisation — lessons I carry into every class I teach.

But over time, my work has grown into something deeper than just steps and technique.

For me, dance is about creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and free to move in their own way.
It’s about laughter, connection, and the healing that happens when we stop trying to get it “right” and just feel.

Whether you're preparing for your first dance, trying a class for the first time, or rediscovering your body after a long pause — you belong here.

This isn’t just about dancing.
It’s about coming home to yourself, in a room full of people doing the same.
