Meet The Team

Live 2 Dance was founded in 2007 by Angela Hartley-Drube with help from her momma, Donna Packard. Together they learned from many industry leaders on how to grow the dance studio not only for kids but as a community business as well. The studio started with Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, Musical Theatre and Hip Hop. Since then it has grown its programming to include Acrobatic Arts, Music Lessons, Couples Dancing, Adult Fitness & Well-being and Aerial Arts. It continues to grow in it’s offerings as the industry changes and the community needs change! In 2021 they moved into a brand new facility, Arts & Celebrations by the Creek, allowing even more growth to happen. They are excited to have you as apart of their dance family and cannot wait to watch you grow as an individual.
