About Us

A Dream Turned into Reality

Wildflower Dance was founded by Jenna Lightfoot and Elise Garfield, two women who share a love for dance and a commitment to creating something special for young dancers and their families.

Jenna, a former dancer, has spent her life immersed in the art of movement. She understands what it takes to develop skills, build confidence, and create a lifelong love of dance. Wildflower Dance is her dream come to life—an environment where dancers can flourish, express themselves, and find their passion. Her goal is to create a space where every dancer, no matter their level, can flourish with confidence and joy.

Elise, brings years of business and accounting experience, ensuring Wildflower Dance Collective runs efficiently, professionally, and with a commitment to excellence. Her extensive knowledge of operations, financial planning, and organizational structure allows the studio to focus on what matters most—our dancers—while keeping everything organized behind the scenes.

What truly sets Wildflower Dance apart is that Jenna and Elise are not just studio owners—they’re dance moms. They’ve been in your shoes, supporting their own children through the excitement, the challenges, and the hard work that come with dance. This unique perspective allows them to create a studio that is welcoming, supportive, and family-friendly, where every dancer is valued.

At Wildflower Dance, we focus on more than just technique—we foster confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong love of movement. Our instructors are dedicated to providing high-quality dance education in a positive, encouraging setting where every dancer feels valued and motivated to reach their full potential.

We believe that dance has the power to shape young lives in the most beautiful way. It teaches discipline, teamwork, resilience, and self-expression. At Wildflower Dance, we don’t just train dancers—we help them grow into confident, capable individuals ready to take on the world.
