Hello friends! I started with CYT when I was 9 years old in San Diego. Since then it has become a second home to me here in Colorado Springs! As a student in San Diego I participated in 20 shows, attended and worked for numerous CYT summer camps, and was a part of two improv teams that competed at the CYT nathional improvathon at CYT Expo! As a teacher in CYT I have taught classes, summer camps, and co-choreographed for CYT COS's first show ever You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, as well as The Little Mermaid! When I'm not at CYT, I'm a nurse at St. Francis Hospital who also loves paddleboarding and being outside! I feel so lucky to get to be a part of CYT here in the Springs and watching the CYT family grow.

She taught dance, Pilates and Barre classes for many years before taking a break in 2013 to become a mom. Becca is excited to join the CYT family and get back to the stage! She is always thrilled for the chance to instruct other performers on how to grow in their movement, technique and performance, and to help them learn what God has called them to do with their gifts and talents. Becca has three children and has been married to her husband for 13 years.

My name is Chloe Welton, I have been a professional performing artist since 2008. I have experience in working with schools, theaters, tour companies, retail shops and professional productions as well as owning my own performance and aerial arts instruction company. Some of my personal makeup skills and performance looks were learned from high level industry professionals, performers and fellow business owners. I've always sought to take private lessons, workshops and jobs that required me to teach makeup skills to others. I can also instruct you in the ways of wig wearing, styling and care. I've built an array of quick techniques that help new performers feel powerful and beautiful! Shangri-La Aerial Arts is my performance company and is located in Colorado Springs, CO. At Shangri-La we often employ these techniques for our live shows and event entertainment performances. We're always trying to better our knowledge, networking and costuming skills along the way! Our performers can all attest to the simplicity and grandness of our looks that are sure to dazzle the crowds and venues that we perform for.

My name is Reagan Smalley and I am so excited to be teaching at CYT! This organization is where I first developed my passion for theatre and I am so excited to instill that passion in the next generation of CYT students. I have a bachelors degree in Theatre from Biola University in Los Angeles California. Additionally, at my church I lead children ages 2-13 in small groups as well as worship for over five years. My prayer is that I may help develop your child's passion for theatre as well as their relationship with Jesus Christ. I believe that our God is a creative God and through the power of theatre we can bring honor and glory to His name.
