Meet the Team
Ms. Dee
Ms. Dee grew up in Sturgis, South Dakota, where her love for sports and working with children began at a young age. By the time she was 13, she was already coaching gymnastics out of her local high school, teaching children ages four through twelve. That early experience sparked what would become a lifelong passion for helping kids grow, learn, and believe in themselves.
In high school, Ms. Dee was a four-year letter winner in track, gymnastics, and cross-country. During her senior year, she was named South Dakota’s Honor Athlete and inducted into the Hall of Fame. She went on to earn a scholarship to the University of South Dakota, where she received a degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Health Education. While attending college, she also coached a local high school gymnastics team, leading them to three consecutive state championships and further shaping her love for teaching and mentoring young athletes.
In 1986, Ms. Dee moved to Southern Nevada and began coaching the “Hot Shots” at the Fern Adair Conservatory of the Arts. She later partnered with Carol Baker, founder of the Wonderland School of Dance, to create what is now known as Leap4Fun. For more than 30 years, Ms. Dee has owned and grown Leap4Fun, building it around her belief that children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and encouraged. During this time, she also earned her master’s degree in Elementary Education from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Ms. Dee is known for creating a positive, uplifting environment where every child feels seen and valued. Her greatest joy comes from watching children gain confidence, discover their strengths, and realize what they are capable of, both in the classroom and in life.
Ms. Kerryann
Ms. Kerryann has been part of the dance world for more than 30 years. In high school, she trained extensively as a dancer and served as captain of her drill team. During that time, she performed in all halftime shows, indoor guard events, and numerous community performances.
She went on to teach at dance studios in South Florida before earning her Bachelor of Arts in Dance from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. After deciding to make Las Vegas her home, Ms. Kerryann returned to teaching with Leap4Fun for over 10 years she has since worked in dance studios, preschools, elementary and middle schools, and with the Henderson Therapeutic Rec Department.
In addition to teaching, she has choreographed countless routines for schools and studios, including large-scale production numbers featuring more than 250 students at a time. Ms. Kerryann has wanted to be a dance teacher for as long as she can remember and is passionate about sharing her love of dance with the next generation.
Ms. Eva
Ms. Eva began dancing at age five in Kansas City and was performing on stage by ten, appearing in productions such as The Wizard of Oz, Fiddler on the Roof, Oklahoma!, and Promises, Promises. After moving to Las Vegas, she performed for more than 16 years at the Holiday Casino and choreographed for schools, studios, and community events.
For nearly 30 years, Ms. Eva has been dedicated to teaching children. She loves helping young dancers build confidence, coordination, and creativity in a fun, supportive environment where every child feels encouraged.
When she began teaching with Leap4Fun 29 years ago, Ms. Eva added martial arts training to her background. This experience brought added structure and focus to her classes, helping children develop balance, listening skills, and self-confidence through movement.
Ms. Eva continues to teach students of all levels, from children as young as two to advanced performers, always bringing patience, energy, and genuine care into every class.

Ms. Amia
Amia began all-star cheer at just 6 years old and went on to compete with Vegas Cheer Authority and The California All Stars, earning one NCA Championship and three Summit Championships. She also has experience in gymnastics, volleyball, basketball, dance, and powerlifting, giving her a well-rounded athletic background and a strong understanding of safe, effective movement.
Amia is currently a Psychology major at the University of Nevada and truly enjoys working with children. She creates a positive, supportive environment where kids feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn. Amia focuses on encouraging effort, building confidence, and helping each child grow at their own pace, while still keeping practices fun and engaging. Parents can feel confident knowing their child is learning from someone who values safety, kindness, and personal growth just as much as athletic development.
