Background
Owner of POINT PERFORMING ARTS. Graduate of Missouri State University in Dance & Psychology. At the age of two I was dancing and doing competitions by the age of four. Started an acting career and went on to be a principal in commercials for Sand-dollar Auto and Southern Dental and was in several movies before the age of ten. I have done hundreds of competitions winning numerous high point awards, titles, and scholarships. By the age of 14 years I was teaching dance classes. Started judging for Rainbow Dance Competition at the age of 21. During my time pursuing a career in New York and California I have always come back to my love of teaching dance. So when the opportunity came to own my own studio, I was excited to start on a new path as a studio owner.
Frank Hatchett quote “You can be a dancer today by just knowing the latest steps, but to me you can see the difference in a dancer that has a knowledge of the older styles. I think that it just makes a stronger, more secure dancer.” Trai was Frank Hatchett’s assistant at Broadway Dance Center in New York City.
