"The camps are fun and encouraging. Both of my daughters made new, lifelong friendships and had so much fun at camp. One of the most positive moments for my oldest daughter was her counselor encouraging her to keep up with dance!"
Whitney Hinson is a North Carolina native where she began her dance training at the age of six in Monroe, NC.
She graduated Cum Laude from Western Carolina University with a B.S. in Psychology and a Minor in Dance. While at WCU, she received a grant from the Honors College, which allowed her to take her piece, "Impetus," and dancers to the American College Dance Festival. She also served as the assistant director for the spring dance concert where her duties included, but were not limited to, the organization of rehearsal schedules/space, collaboration with the Publicity and Film departments for posters and movie trailers to promote the concert, maintenance of choreography in the absence of professors, costuming, presenting her own piece on the main stage, as well as performing.
She began teaching as a Junior in high school at her home dance studio, and has taught children ranging from three to eighteen years of age as well as her peers and adults; beginning to advanced levels. Her teaching credits include: Carolina Dance Company, Forest Hills High School Colorguard, Providence High School Colorguard, Girl Scout University, and ST-ARTS at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC.
Currently she can be found at Fascinating Rhythm Studios in York, SC where she teaches ballet technique and choreographs competitive routines in tap, jazz, lyrical, and contemporary. She recently received a Top Teacher Award for Junior Duets/Trios from Star Systems Talent Competition.
She is very excited about joining the ADTC staff as the Jazz Instructor at her Alma Mater in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina!
