Miss Peyton grew up in Waukesha, WI, but has been living in Madison since 2014. Dance has been part of her life for over twenty years. Throughout this time, Miss Peyton served as the captain of Midwest Connection Dance Company, the captain of Catholic Memorial’s dance team, was a Radio Disney Dancer, danced in a Rose Bowl halftime performance, and was a backup dancer for the Jonas Brothers.

With all these experiences, Miss Peyton’s favorite part about dance is that it provides her with the ability to be creative. It allows her to let go of the activities of the day. In teaching, she loves seeing the smiles on the faces of her students when they successfully complete a difficult trick or move. She loves seeing their sense of accomplishment after working hard to achieve their goals.

Aside from dance, Miss Peyton loves microscopes and space! She studied Biomedical Engineering and Neurobiology in college and is currently a Biomedical Sales Engineer.
