Meet our Staff

August has been immersed in the world of dance for 28 years, beginning her training at just three years old under the instruction of Tammy Fuller. She grew up studying acrobatics and multiple dance genres, later expanding her experience through competitive dance and cheer. After graduating from Maryville College—where she served as captain of the MC Dance Ensemble—August returned to Lebanon to build a career dedicated to supporting young people both in and out of the studio.

With 15 years of coaching experience, August has led competitive teams, overseen choreography, costuming, and performance preparation, and served as head instructor of the competition program. As a guidance counselor with Lebanon Special Schools, she brings a unique understanding of child development, mental health, and positive motivation into every class she leads.

Now, as the owner of Cedar City Dance, August is excited to create a studio environment where dancers feel safe, supported, and inspired. Her mission is to build a space where students can grow in confidence, develop strong technique, and experience the joy of dance—whether they’re stepping into the studio for the first time or preparing for the competition stage.
