Blayke, Director of Scottsdale School of Dance, has been dancing since she could walk—and some would say straight out of the womb. She has been sharing her passion for movement since the age of 12 with a diverse background in teaching Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Hip Hop, Cheer, Contemporary, and Lyrical, Blayke brings a wealth of experience and energy to every class. She has also coached and competed in cheerleading at a global level, further deepening her understanding of performance and discipline.

In addition to her dance expertise, Blayke holds a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) certification and is on track to complete her 500-hour certification by May 2026. With a deep commitment to holistic movement, she is passionate about integrating the principles of yoga into her dance curriculum—encouraging students to explore how each style of dance feels and expresses itself uniquely in their own bodies.

Blayke’s approach blends technical precision with mindfulness and self-discovery, creating a space where students grow not just as dancers, but as confident, expressive individuals.
