Meet Our Instructors
Passionate educators, dedicated performers, and lifelong dancers
Colleen Levisay
Colleen's love of dance began in 1974, and it has never stopped moving her. After years of master classes and performances across the country, she pursued her passion at the university level — majoring in Dance, Family/Child Psychology, and Business Administration in Utah, where she served as Co-Captain of the International Folk Dance Ensemble.
She holds Teaching Certifications from Dance Masters of America (DMA), Certified Clogging Instructors (CCI), and the Professional Dance Teachers Association (PDTA), along with Bronze Medals in American and Latin Ballroom. A Master Clogger and teacher of teachers, Colleen serves on the steering committee of C.L.O.G./ClogU, mentoring and certifying aspiring instructors nationwide.
Since 1992, Colleen has served as Creative Director and CEO of Dancin' Feet — building not just a dance program, but a community. She lives in Oak Grove with her husband, two sons, and three dogs.
Lora Chapman
Lora has been teaching dance at Dancin' Feet for over 20 years, bringing expertise across nearly all dance styles. A nationally certified clogging instructor through CCI since 2007 and recipient of the Marilyn Hanson Scholarship Award, she has performed in Washington D.C., Nashville, and Branson. By day, Lora is a Learning Development Manager at a marketing and software agency.
Paige McLain
Paige began dancing at Dancin' Feet at age four and returned to the staff in 2016 after earning her Bachelor's in History and Sociology from Carthage College. While she enjoys clogging, ballet and Pointe are where her teaching heart truly lives. Paige is married with two young boys, and her husband helps pick out recital songs each year.
McKenna Patterson
McKenna has been part of the Dancin' Feet family for over 10 years — three as a Dance Assistant and seven as an instructor. After exploring many styles, she found her home in jazz and hip hop, and loves sharing that passion with young dancers. Outside the studio, McKenna plays cello, paints, and choreographs color guard for marching band organizations.
Tory Kreitman
Tory brings a vibrant energy and deep heart for children to every class. With a background working with special needs children in Texas, her creativity, warmth, and love of dance make her classes an absolute joy — for students and parents alike.
Mariah Gunther
Mariah has been part of the Dancin' Feet family for over 15 years as both an educator and performer. Beloved by dancers of all ages, her choreography is known for its energy, creativity, and pure joy. A Kindergarten Teacher by day, Mariah brings that same passion for nurturing young minds into every class she leads.
Sarah Durst
Sarah began her Dancin' Feet journey in 2020 in the adult beginners clogging class, hoping to share the stage with her daughter Addison in a mother/daughter routine. A former competitive dancer, she now dances with the Adult Challenge Clogging group and assists with beginning adult clogging classes. By day, Sarah is a principal's secretary at a middle school — and a proud dance mom.
