Miss Joscelyn
Owner & Teacher
Miss Joscelyn has been dancing since the age of 3. She trained in Southern California and danced competitively since she was 5 years old, traveling to Las Vegas, Disneyland, Florida, and much more. Upon graduating High School, she saw a need and decided to open a dance program at Edwards Air Force Base. The program outgrew the community center so she moved the program to her own studio space in a nearby city and there was born, “The Dance Craze.” Joscelyn owned and was the main teacher at The Dance Craze for 15 years.
Her competitive team competed all over California and would bring home top awards, choreography awards, scholarships and she won “Teacher of the Year” from Rainbow Dance Competition for highest scoring routines at Vegas Nationals. Her dancers were also featured in the Disneyland parade, dancing on stage at California Adventure and dancing in the Christmas Day Parade at Disney World. A few of her graduated dancers can be found as working dancer/entertainers at Disneyland Tokyo, Disney World, Six Flags and more.
She is constantly trying to improve and develop her
knowledge of dance by attending teacher workshops and attending conventions. Miss Joscelyn and her family moved to Texas 4 years ago and are loving it! When she is not teaching she loves spending time with her husband, Daniel Rivers (who is a fireman) and children Brooklyn (13), Mason (11) and Eli (7) or running her online boutique, “Blue Rivers Boutique”. She is so excited to bring her knowledge and passion for dance to the area!!
Miss Kaylee
Teacher
Miss Kaylee has been dancing under Miss Joscelyn’s guidance since I was six years old. Her journey began performing in the Disneyland parade, and over time she developed a deep love for competing. She truly grew up in the studio—whether she was dancing or just watching classes, she wanted to spend every second I could on the dance floor.
Throughout her years competing with TDC, she has traveled across the country and has been honored to receive awards such as Dancer of the Year, overall high scores, scholarships, and invitations to New York and Hollywood. She also appeared in the Christmas Morning Parade at Disney World on ABC!
At a young age, she started assisting with classes and quickly realized teaching was her true passion. Miss Kaylee loves working with dancers of all ages and levels, building strong bonds with the students, and watching them grow not only as dancers but as individuals.
Her goal is to uplift every dancer and help them find their confidence in themselves and their passion for dance. She's so excited for this new chapter and the chance to work with such an incredible team and community!

Miss Lizzie
Teacher
Miss Lizzie's dance journey began at the age of 12, and from the very first class, she knew she had found my passion. She grew up in the studio training, competing, and assisting surrounded by the rhythm, discipline, and joy that dance brings. From California to Nevada, she's had the incredible opportunity to compete across the West Coast, earning numerous awards and overalls along the way.
She says "Dance has shaped who I am. It taught me commitment, resilience, creativity, and confidence. I’ve spent years not only honing my technique but also learning what it means to be part of a team, to lead, and to uplift others. Assisting classes was one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. It sparked a love for teaching and a deep appreciation for the growth and individuality of each student."
Now, Miss Lizzie looks forward to continuing her dance education and is eager to attend teaching conventions, expand her knowledge, and bring fresh inspiration to the studio every day. Her goal is to pour her heart into every class, every student, and every opportunity to share what she loves.
Working with kids brings Miss Lizzie endless joy, and she truly can’t wait to watch each one of the students grow in confidence, skill, and love for this art form.
Miss Amanda
Teacher
Growing up in California, Miss Amanda spent her time helping her mom run her daycare business. Helping kids to grow and discover their own passions and personalities had become something she loved to be a part of.
Miss Amanda's journey in cheerleading began when she was just 12 years old. What started as an after-school activity quickly grew into a true passion as she immersed herself into the world of competitive cheer. The challenges, the teamwork, the precision- it all sparked something in her that she knew would be a part of her life for years to come.
Miss Amanda's love for cheer grew and so did her dedication. She continued cheerleading through her college years. Cheer had helped her to further refine her skills, build lifelong friendships, and deepen her understanding of being part of a team. It became more than just routines and competitions; it became a defining part of her identity.
After moving to Texas 3 years ago, Miss Amanda found a new way to stay connected to the sport she absolutely loved by giving back. She transitioned to coaching and found her calling in mentoring young athletes. She began coaching competitive cheerleading and tumbling. It reinforced her belief in the importance of fundamentals, strength, and persistence. In addition, she also had the opportunity to choreograph routines for both recreational dance teams and competitive cheer teams, combining creativity with technical expertise.
Now at 23 years old, cheerleading continues to influence Miss Amanda's everyday life. The discipline, leadership, and collaborative spirit I developed through years of training, performing, and coaching remain with her, shaping how she approaches challenges and opportunities in all areas of life.
