I have been coaching at Bliss for over 10 years. I coach tumbling and cheer. I was a competitive gymnast until 9th grade, when I decided to quit and do cheerleading! I cheered at Jordan High School and then went on to cheer at The College of Eastern Utah in Price. I have been married for 14 years, and have 3 children. My favorite things are Chick-fil-A and Swig.

Mickenzie has danced for 17 years. She trained in classical ballet for most of her dance career as well as in lyrical, jazz, contemporary and hip hop.

She loves her students, and loves her studio!

I started dancing when I was 3 years old. I won state with my drill team in high school. My main focus was on ballet until college which is when I got more into choreography. I did MOSAIC Hip Hop Company at UVU for 1 year. I’ve been at Bliss for 3 years.

Hi I’m McKelle Schaugaard! Dance and tumbling have been my life since the age of 3. Most of my childhood was spent upside down or performing.

I’ve trained in ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, lyrical, and hip hop. I started competitive cheer and dance in elementary school and did both drill and varsity cheer for my high school.

She danced in high school and college. She's taught at a private school, community education classes, and now Bliss Academy.

My love for dance started as a little ballerina at the age of three. I started out life as quite the tomboy (being surrounded by brothers) and finding dance was finding my own spot in the world! I loved being dainty and fancy & having my time to shine on stage! I trained in ballet, then jazz and modern dance until high school. At that time I had changed my focus to concentrate on my studies.

I love teaching our littlest dancers here at Bliss and helping them to find their own love for dance and the wonderful tool this training is in their lives.
