Crystal Maddalena
My name is Crystal Maddalena. I've been dancing for 13 years with Pacific West Performing Arts in Snohomish, Wash. I started tap dancing when I was five years old and have had a passion for dancing every since. My dance team has won many awards with competitions all over the nation. I am very excited to work with a new team. Be ready to dance until you drop!

Yohana Karma
I started ballet training at the age of 7 because it was a requirement for the competitive gymnastics I was in. I discovered my love for dance then, and in a couple of years chose dance over gymnastics. I danced with the Northwest Ballet Company in Kalispell through high school. I then received my BFA in dance at the University of Montana, with an emphasis on Modern and Ballet. In the last 15 years, I've taught dance, choreographed and collaborated in productions around Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska and South Korea. I've also been a member of various performance groups such as the Omaha Modern Dance Collective, and most recently, the Open Field Artists in Missoula. Over recent years, yoga has become an important part of my life and this last winter, I completed a 280-hour yoga teacher training through Yoga Motion in Bozeman. These days I've really been enjoying combining the flow of yoga and dance.
