Pacific Ballroom Dance is excited to announce several wonderful additions to our staff as we continue to grow and thrive as a vibrant dance community.
Kristel Anderson will step into the role of Director of Marketing and Communications beginning July 1 and has already started onboarding into her new position. Kristel brings valuable experience and a thoughtful, organized approach, and she is well-prepared to keep our community connected and informed. We are grateful for all the work Raney Keating has done in this role over the past few years. Her dedication has helped ensure a smooth transition and leaves PBD in a strong place for continued success. We are excited to welcome Kristel to the team.
We are also pleased to welcome Brynn Stapley, who will become Brynn Cole after her wedding on August 15, back to PBD as a member of our teaching staff. Brynn is a PBD alumna, a former member of the BYU Ballroom Dance Company, and currently serves as an adjunct dance professor at BYU. She looks forward to sharing her experience and love of dance with the next generation of dancers.
Joining Brynn is her fiancé, Tanner Cole, who brings extensive experience in Ballroom, Latin, and Smooth styles. Tanner is a five-time Amateur National Finalist with several national medals and is excited to share his skills and passion with our dancers.
Additionally, we are happy to share that Faith Justus, a recent high school graduate and PBD alumna, will be joining our teaching staff in the Stars Program. Faith has trained in both Latin and Standard styles and has competed in Open-level events. She is eager to help her students grow and succeed.
As we look forward to a new season, we are grateful for the dedicated staff and volunteers who make PBD such a special place. We are excited for the creativity, connection, and joy that Kristel, Brynn, Tanner, and Faith will bring to our dance family.
Welcome, Kristel, Brynn, Tanner, and Faith!
