Jackie Sleight

Jackie Sleight is fearless. Her dedication to education in the dance industry has been endless. Dance Magazine quoted Jackie as being “the teachers’ teacher,” and she has received numerous awards honoring her commitment to the industry. She spent years choreographing and directing film, television, commercials, and live performances, all while training some of the biggest names in the industry.

Her work with young people in competition goes unchallenged. Her teen dancers, A Sleight Touch, won the Star Search Teen Championship, and her group, Boys Club went on to win $100,000 as the Star Search Dance Champions. Those two young groups have been touted as being part of 80’s pop culture.

Jackie became active in the fitness industry just as aerobics was taking off. She was featured in several magazines including New Body and Fit where critics raved about her revolutionary fitness program, Freedance. She soon became staff choreographer for the National Aerobic Championships. The fitness sensation eventually took Jackie to Miami where she wrote and published an exercise manual and system which was used by health clubs all over the country. She worked to help usher in what was to become the industry’s hottest craze, “low-impact” aerobics.

Still after a remarkable career, Jackie will say that her greatest blessings are sons Joshua and Aaron.

Sienna Lyons

SIENNA LYONS

Sienna Lyons was born and raised outside of Seattle, Washington where she began her dance training at the age of 3 years old. She trained at Elizabeth’s Dance Dimensions, starting at the age of 12, and this is where she quickly realized that dance was her deepest passion.

At the age of 16, Lyons began teaching once her dance teacher saw her love to create.

Sienna made the life changing decision to move to Los Angeles at 18 years old to begin her dance career. She has danced for artists such as: JLo, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Pharrell, Janell Monae, Jennifer Hudson, and on TV shows such as: Palm Royale, America’s Got Talent, Glee, The Billboard Music Awards, The Grammys, Real Husbands of Hollywood, and many more.

Soon after making the big move, the creative side became second nature to Sienna as she began to work as an assistant choreographer under some of the most highly acclaimed choreographers in the industry. It was during these experiences and opportunities that she realized she had what it takes to become a choreographer herself. She has choreographed on TV shows such as: The 2025 Kidz Choice Awards, American Song Contest, The Masked Singer, The Jimmy Kimmel Show, and for artists such as: Olivia Rodrigo, Gwen Stefani, Selena Gomez, Amelia Moore, and Sebastian Yatra. Sienna is currently the Head Choreographer of the Kidz Bop brand.

Because Sienna is trained in many different dance styles, she is able to adapt to whatever is thrown in her direction from classical styles to today’s commercial style. Sienna is always up for the challenge and is committed to creating epic work.
