Rhiannon Carta

Owner / Teacher / Artistic Director

Born and raised in Connecticut, Rhiannon has been actively involved in the performing arts nearly her entire life.

Beginning at the ripe age of 3, Rhiannon began her artistic journey as a recreational dancer, taking weekly classes at her local studio. Soon enough, her love of dance developed into a serious passion, and she transitioned to a competitive level. In her time as a competition dancer, Rhiannon competed in conventions across the east-coast, and studied under industry professionals whose bodies of work span across Broadway, television, and film.

Since the mid-2010s, Rhiannon has served as director, choreographer, and youth theatre educator for local theatres across Connecticut, including The Thomaston Opera House and The Goshen Players on productions including but not limited to; Green Day’s American Idiot, Elf The Musical, {Title of Show}, Heathers the
Musical, and The Who’s Tommy. Rhiannon’s work as a director and choreographer has earned numerous nominations from Onstage.com and BroadwayWorldCT.com.

Rhiannon is so excited to bring her love of performing arts to The Farmington Valley, and is so excited to dance with you!

Brianna Beyers

Teacher

Brianna found her passion for dance 20 years ago when she took her first tap class at the age of 3 years old and has continued to love the sport ever since.

For her, between cheerleading and competing in pageants, dance has always been the constant through life’s ongoing changes.

Brianna has been teaching dance for 3 years, and when not in the studio has proudly spent the last 8 years at Beacon Pharmacy.

To Brianna, she finds the most rewarding part of being a teacher in the ability to be a role model for such young kids.
