Kimberly Nelson
- Step In Time 78145 Points
I started dancing at the age of
three and new ever since then I wanted to be a dance teacher
and have my own Dance Studio. When I turned 20 I decided it
was time to do just that. I had a registration in Payson and
I started with only three students and it has grown to over
a hundred. Most of my dancers are on competition teams and
they also compete solos/duets/trio's. We love competing at
America on Stage and I am so honored to be a Director of the
Year. I couldn't have done it without my awesome dancers and
my assistant coach Miss Brenna. In my spare time I love
hanging out with my husband and 2 daughters. I also enjoy a
great shopping spree and vacationing where ever is warm

Shaw Dance 49580 Points
Dance has been and is a very
important part of my life. I believe that students can learn
things about themselves, others, and even other educational
subject areas through dance that they could not learn in any
other setting. I believe that dance should be a positive
experience for all participants, regardless of whatever
innate talents they may or may not have. Our philosophy is
to build versatile, well-rounded dancers, while building the
self-esteem and confidence of the individual.! |

 As dance teachers we love
seeing a dance come together. We love seeing what we
choreograph come alive on stage! We love creating a routine
or dance vision in our head that is amazing when it’s
performed! We love watching our students grow and develop!
Our dance studio was awarded director of the year, and
that’s because we have such an amazing staff!!! I truly love
and appreciate Miss Bree, Miss Abbie, Miss Jerica, Coach
Kylee, Coach Sarah, Miss Mckell and Miss Michelle so much!
Our assistants and subs are the best: Coach Terika, Miss
Jayda, Miss Jacey, Miss Ragen, Miss Hannah and Coach Hannah!
What a great dance family we have! We love what we do!As

the age of 5 in a small town in Idaho, enjoying her high

built within R & R is Miss Jackie's greatest accomplishment,
her fellow staff members, their kids, the students, and the
families have become the community she always wanted her
kids to grow up in. She is so grateful to her students &
staff for all of their love & support! |

& Cambria Gibson
- K&C's Fab
5
200275
Points
 Kandice and Cambria are in
their 10th year as a studio, but they have been friends for
much longer than that! Cambria and Kandice first competed a
short duet together 20 years ago and won the short duet MVP.
They love thinking back on how their studio began and how it
has grown and changed over the past 10 years. There have
been many personal and team MVP’s won, but more than winning
they have seen their students fail and get back up, cheer on
competitors, and become a proud part of this amazing
clogging family with America On Stage. K&C’s FAB 5 studio
not only teaches clogging, but offers friendships and
memories that last a lifetime. Their studio would not be
successful without their amazing teachers and behind the
scenes help. Thanks Emileigh Hillstead! The students and
parents at K&C’s FAB 5 studio are truly the best! |
Maria & Greg Tucker
- Rocky Mountain Express 189990 Points
 Maria and Greg direct Rocky Mtn
Express. Maria has been teaching for 25 years, Greg 27
years, and just celebrated our studio’s anniversary recital.
Maria: I graduated from BYU with a teaching degree and a
dance minor. I had my dream teaching job lined up, but then
suddenly switched gears and decided to focus on teaching
dance instead... and I’ve never looked back! I absolutely
love my job, mostly because of the people that come with it.
Oh, and I’m also a major movie star because of dance- (you
can ask for my autograph next time you see me You just never
know where clogging can take you, and I am living proof!
Love this life we have.

LaChere Vawdrey
& Emily Wright-
LaChere's Fab 5 181965 Points
 LaChere was born and raised in
Morgan, Utah. She, along with her 4 FABULOUS SISTERS have
been clogging since the beginning of time… well…their time
at least! She, along with her husband and dance partner,
Randy Vawdrey , moved their family to Pocatello, ID 18 years
ago. Since living in Idaho, LaChere has blessed her students
with her talent and love of dance!! Her positive example,
keen ear for the perfect rhythm and music, her high
expectations of precision and a knack for helping each
student rise to their full potential through hard work are
just a few of the things that have inspired so many of her
dancers. With a growing studio and the everyday demands of
life, LaChere has added new teachers and staff members that
have the same expectations to help make the studio better
than ever. Recently, LaChere has welcomed her dearest
friend, emerging dance teacher and “all-around” dedicated
right hand man, Emily Wright, as a partner to the growing
studio. We truly have been blessed with the best staff, the
most dedicated students and super supportive parents ever!!
LaChere, Randy and each member of the FAB 5 family have
worked diligently to instill in each of the students and our
dance family the importance of always “SHINING THE LIGHT”!!
We love our FAB 5 FAMILY!! |
Bethany Hulse
- Extreme Rhythm 160525 Points
 I’m
Bethany Hulse. Owner and Director of Extreme Rhythm
Cloggers. Lucky enough to be Mom to 4 amazing kids and one
very patient husband. This season Extreme Rhythm is
celebrating 20 years of adventure and dancing. We are
blessed with the absolute best staff and families ever. So
thankful they are willing to share their love of clogging
with our students. We love America On Stage and all that it
does to build a community of cloggers. Looking forward to
another year of competition. |
Tara Osborn
- Foothill Cloggers 114720 Points
 Tara Osborn is the
owner/director of the Foothill Clogging in Genola, Utah.
After being away from clogging for ten years, her love for
clogging brought her back. She decided to try and share her
love of dance with all those around. Foothill loves
competing with America on Stage and performing as much as
possible. In the past 16 years they have toured as a studio
to California 3 times, Branson Missouri 2 times, and a
cruise to the Bahamas.
She is extremely grateful to have strengthened her studio in
ability and size over the last 16 years to a full time
business. Now 160+ dancers strong. She is blessed with so
many amazing dancers, families, and friends in her life due
to this amazing thing we call clogging. Tara says her most
favorite thing about clogging is being able to share it with
Jenna, her daughter. If she is not clogging or working on
her studio, she prefers to spend her time hanging with her
family, being a booster mom, scrapbooking, or riding a
horse. Tara and her husband own a small ranch where we work

 “
Just 4 Clicks and Moore!” Clogging studio just started their
5th year this season. Jamie teaches and choreographs along
with her daughter Sarah. Ryan does the behind the scenes
stuff like fixing shoes, putting floors together, computer
I.T, etc. Jamie grew up clogging with Hay Day Cloggers In
Kaysville, Utah and then danced a couple years at Steele
Family. She took a break from clogging when her and Ryan got
married. They have 4 wonderful kids. Jamie came back to
clogging when Nicole Moyes started “Just 4 Clicks” studio
and asked her to teach. She taught there for 8 years and
opened her own studio when Nicole’s studio closed. It has
always been Jamie’s dream to own a clogging studio and to
teach! She is so thankful for the support of her family and
dance family. We are thankful for the friendships and
support of other studios and love being a part of America On

 Hailey is the owner of GCS
taking care of all the behind-the-scenes business legwork
and together Adison and Hailey direct Ground Control Studio
out of Twin Falls, Idaho both instructing, choreographing

studio to include more dance space and dance styles-
something they were finally able to achieve in 2019! Ground
Control Studio now has clogging/power tap, ballroom and hip
hop programs with almost 100 students and an amazing staff!
The Hillsteads also choreograph theatrical routines for the
local TFHS show choir JIVE! and produce two large musical
productions a year on top of their studio’s annual dance
show featured every May at the historic Orpheum Theatre in
Twin Falls. Hailey Hillstead’s love for theatre keeps her
busy acting, singing and dancing on stage in local musicals
each year- and she also runs a wedding floral business of
her own on the side, while Adison Hillstead, A.O.S. Hall of
Fame and Ring of Glory inductee, tours with the ALL THAT
all-male clogging group throughout the year. Little Lexi
Hillstead is turning 9 this year and loves dancing ballet.
Their combined love for the outdoors and travel is what this
little family enjoys most when they’re not already singing,
laughing and dancing together.
The Hillsteads and Ground Control Studio are excited to
bring their new ideas and hard working teams to the stage
for another year of fun! Thank you, America On Stage!

 I
am Madison Kingsbury and I am the Competition Director of
Idaho Rhythm. I have been in a leadership role at IDR for 4
years and have been teaching for 8 years. I have received
many awards and accolades over the years, and I am honored
to be receiving Director of the Year on behalf of not only
myself, but all of the teachers and staff members at our

believe that lessons in the classroom are lessons for life
and have a 360 degree vision of building great kids, not
just great dancers. My greatest passion and privilege is
watching these great kids learn and grow and improve. This
award is not just a testament to how hard our studio works
to provide quality lessons, but how awesome, talented, and
dedicated our kids and families are! I'm grateful for the
opportunity to share my love for dance with the next
generation, and grateful to AOS for building such a
wonderful tight knit village of dancers! |

Veva Ahlstrom
- Veva's Fab 5 Studio 20205 Points
 Veva
Ahlstrom was born and raised in Morgan, Utah, where her
family jokes that her first walking step was actually a
dance step. She grew up trying to keep up with her older
sisters dancing, and once she was old enough and skilled
enough, she finally got to join her sisters on the big dance
stage officially: and the Fab 5 was created! After
college, she moved to Mesa, Arizona with her husband, where
she taught school and started her own dance program. Soon
after, The Fab 5 made it to the Top 10 Finals of America's
Got Talent in 2009. This wonderful adventure led to the
official creation of Veva's Fab 5 Studio! She has been
teaching for years, and has enjoyed every opportunity to
give kids a positive experience, a positive environment,
positive opportunities, and positive memories. She wants her
dancers to be successful on the dance floor, but her deepest
desire is that they will become successful in life! Her
sisters have been a huge influence on her life, and have
helped her along the way to run her program. She could
not have done it without them, and still enjoys learning
from them. She is a member of The All-American Hall of
Fame, as well as the Ring of Glory. She has
individually won multiple MVP's, her teams have won MVP's,
as well as multiple Overall Studio Trophies, and multiple
Overall High Score Trophies. She looks forward to more
opportunities for growth for her dancers and program. |
