Discover the Power of Movement

About Me

My name is Harlee Lawless and I am passionate about dance! I started taking recreational dance classes at the age of three. After several seasons of training, I decided to jump into the world of competitive dance. For years I traveled to Jefferson City and then Columbia 3 - 4 times per week for training. I have gained valuable experience that I hope to share with all of my students.

I am a 2022 graduate of Eldon High School. I most recently graduated with a BS in General Studies from the University of Central Missouri. While attending UCM I was an active member of the UCM Dance Club.
