Lauren grew up right here in Great Falls where she began dancing at the age of 3. She continued dancing through grade and high school where she competed and trained across the country with the best in the business! After graduating with her bachelors in Business at Montana State in Bozeman, she moved home to pursue her dream of opening her own studio. She has been coaching for 6 years and loves seeing the growth in all of the dancers in the studio from beginners to experienced performers!
Isabelle’s dance training started at the age of 5 in Omaha, Nebraska. She moved to Montana in 2011 with her family where she continued her competitive training resulting in several scholarships, overall, and title awards. She continued her education at Arizona State University where she earned her Bachelors of Science in Biology and a certification in education. She has continued to work in the education system since graduating ASU in 2021 and enjoys working alongside kids. Her favorite part about teaching dance is developing relationships with the dancers and seeing them grow in their dance skills!
Hello MT Elite dancers and families!!!! My name is Madeline Daigle. I began dancing at the age of two and that is when I also knew it was my destiny.
Dance was always my identity. During high school friends always wanted to go to football games but I would rather be in the studio. Dance had always given me freedom and self expression and I always want to show and teach that you young dancers.
I have always loved dance because I believe it teaches children a great understanding of poise and confidence. Because of this love I attended school for my minor in dance. Now I have the beautiful opportunity to watch your children learn, grow, and develop into mature beautiful dancers.
I cannot wait to work with your dancers!
Alaina Mattimiro grew up in Hastings, Minnesota and started dancing at the age of 3. What started as once a week recreation classes soon turned into six days a week of training and competing. She has trained in ballet, contemporary, modern, jazz, clogging, musical theater, and hip hop. After graduating from high school, she danced for Iowa State as well as performed with the Joe Goode Performance Group, Chris Black, Deborah Slater Dance Theater, Fellow Travelers Performance Group, and Kristin Damrow and Company. She also choreographed, danced, and competed for the American College Dance Association.
Alaina has a Bachelor’s degree in City Planning and a Master’s in Elementary Education. While she usually isn’t found on stage anymore, after moving to Montana, she knew she had to stay involved - you will now find her at MT Elite sharing her passion and joy for the sport and art of dance. She loves working with our littlest and newest dancers, and seeing them grow into award winning performers. When she isn’t at the studio, she is busy city planning, maintaining her food blog, traveling the country, and growing flowers.
