Miss Camryn Brunson
Instructor
Camryn has been dancing since the age of five when she took her very first ballet class. At seven years old, she joined the competition team at a local dance studio. Then, when Miss Nichole opened the doors to Dancers Edge, Camryn was eager to be a part of it. From the very beginning, she considered the studio a home away from home and everyone at Dancer’s Edge family.
Camryn was a competitive dancer and performed in many successful production numbers, group dances, and specialties. She also learned other skills, outside of studio training, through the Brighton High School poms team. Camryn is trained in ballet, pointe, jazz, lyrical, tap, hip hop, and poms. Highlights of her time as a Dancer’s Edge student include being chosen as Dancer of the Year in 2014, receiving the Inspire Award in 2019, and being given the Kindness Award in 2021. Camryn’s proudest moments as a teacher include her students being recognized as Regional Champions and receiving the Entertainment Award. However, nothing is more rewarding to her than seeing her student’s passion and dedication for dance.
Outside of dance, Camryn graduated with her Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing from Metropolitan State University of Denver in 2023. She is now working to obtain her Master’s Degree in Education as well as her Teacher License. Camryn is passionate about being a positive role model, creating a fun environment, and encouraging the love of dance. She loves being a part of the Dancer’s Edge staff, as it combines two of her favorite things, dancing and teaching kids.
