Spotlight Staff: 2025- 2026
Our staff is simply the best! It takes a team of dedicated, loving and talented teachers and assistants to make each and every class at Spotlight a success. Many Spotlight teachers grew up in our studio and went through our program themselves. One of our biggest joys is to see the impact our amazing staff has on younger generations of Spotlight dancers and how each generation pushes the next to be even better than those who came before them. We are family!

Spotlight Teacher Bios
Lindsay Brandon: Lindsay has been involved with Spotlight for over 15 years, and she currently teaches the Tuesday 3 & 4 year old class. Lindsay brings a history of dance herself and shares her passion in hopes to encourage the young to continue forward with a love for dance too. She began her dance career at Sandra Brewer’s Dance Studio when she was 5 through the age of 18. She was part of a variety of dance styles: ballet, pointe, lyrical, tap, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, and musical theatre to name a few. This is where she initially met both Dede and Lindsay as teachers and dance colleagues. She later became a part of dance teams in both middle school and high school. Lindsay also danced competitively for both the studio and school, winning numerous individual and group awards - with the most notable attending the National Dance Alliance (NDA) competition her senior year with her high school team and receiving 19th place in the Nation! She went on to take dance classes in college. Shortly after graduating college, Lindsay began her teaching career at Spotlight (2008) teaching 3–7-year-olds and even participating herself in some of the jazz and hip-hop classes and now participates in Staff routines. Lindsay can’t imagine not having dance in her life, and teaching at Spotlight has certainly helped fill that cup. She is so proud of all the dancers she has taught, and those that continue to dance and now even teach/choreograph today!
Alana Carpenter: Alana has studied dance in the Flint area since the age of 5 and has danced in several companies throughout her career. She has competed and danced with Spotlight since the first year in 2003 as a member of the Red Company and was honored to be the 2nd Spotlight Dancer of the Year. Alana was an assistant coach and choreographer for Bentley High School’s dance team in 2008 and with the Grand Blanc High School’s Varsity Pom team as an assistant coach and competition choreographer from 2009-2011.

Alana teaches Mini Team, Jr Team, Jr Elite, Elite Team, 789’s, Adagio, Blue Company & White Company along with doing choreography for Red Company and Funkdafied as well. Alana is married with two beautiful daughters, Olivia and Amelia, who are growing up dancing in the same studio that gave her a love for dance. Alana is very honored to be a part of Spotlight’s teaching staff and part of the Spotlight family.
Quinn Hilliker: Quinn Hilliker began dancing at the age of 4 and has been competing since she was 10. She was honored as the 2021 Spotlight Dancer of the Year as a graduating senior from Grand Blanc High School. Over the years, Quinn has assisted in every class at the studio and now proudly teaches and choreographs for the Red, White, and Blue Company tap program, along with many award-winning solo, duo/trio, and small group routines including Tapestry and Teen Tapestry. Quinn has a deep passion for tap dance, with a focus on musicality, rhythm, and performance quality. She loves helping her dancers grow not only in technique, but also in confidence and stage presence. She is incredibly grateful for the opportunities DeCamp’s Spotlight has given her and is proud to now give back to the next generation of dancers. Quinn looks forward to continuing her journey in dance education and inspiring her students to find joy in every step.
Emileigh Jasman: Emileigh has been dancing since the age of 4, and at age 11 started dancing on a competitive dance team. Emileigh began dancing at Spotlight in 2010, competing with Red Company and Funkdafied. Emileigh has competed in regional and national competitions and Spotlight gave her many opportunities to learn from some of the top choreographers at conventions. Emileigh currently teaches our Wednesday 5, 6 & 7 year old dancers, and she is so happy to be part of the amazing teaching staff here at Spotlight!
Kim Kallas: Kim’s love of dance started at the age of 3, and she has trained in both the Cecchetti and Vaganova methods of Ballet. Kim was a member of The Flint Ballet Theatre Company auditioning at the age of 8 and continued to train and perform with the company into her teens. As a young teen she began a career at Sandra Brewer’s Dance Studio in Davison where she performed in recitals, Christmas at Whiting as well as many dance competitions. At Sandy’s she eventually became a teacher, Dance Director, Choreographer and also continued her love of dancing and performing well into her adult years. Kim has received top awards in The Michigan Ballroom Competitions with her amazing dance partners and earned top awards at dance competitions for performance and choreography throughout the state. She loves that she can share her experiences, training, and love of Ballet with her students at Spotlight. “I am so grateful that Miss Lindsay and Miss Dede invited me to be a part of Spotlight. Happy Season 23 to a fabulous family of dancers, choreographers, and teachers.”
Kacy Perry: Kacy began dancing at the age of 3 at a studio in Davison. At 8 she began competing across Michigan. At 15, Kacy began teaching dance for a local Kiwanis summer program.

Hailee Ridgeway: Hailee started dancing at the age of 4 and started at Spotlight at 5. She started dancing competitively for Spotlight at the age of 10. Dancing for Spotlight has given her so many opportunities in the world of dance and has allowed her to build so many friendships through the years. Hailee graduated from Davison in 2022 where she then got an associates in business management at Mott community college and went on to go to cosmetology school and now does hair in Davison. Without dance she would not have learned the discipline and commitment skills needed in the future. Hailee assisted many classes through her high school years and is happy to be back and teaching jazz and hip hop for the 10 & up class as well as doing choreography for solos and duo/trios this competition season. She also teaches blue company alongside Ms. Alana helping with choreography and technique.
