We are so excited to welcome Brooklyn Lopez to our team of Summer technique educators! Our dancers will train with one of the best starting tomorrow!
Brooklyn is a movement educator and choreographer with a long-standing focus on developing confident, well-rounded youth performers. She began teaching at age 12 and later trained for the professional industry after being accepted into the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in Los Angeles. She performed and refined her craft before returning to Texas to work more intentionally with community based dance. Her training spans classical, commercial, and athletic-based movement, including ballet, jazz, tap, modern, contemporary, hip-hop, acrobatics, somatic movement and dance conditioning, with additional study in partner and social dance forms during her college years. Brooklyn studied dance at Texas State University, where she deepened her understanding of anatomy, movement mechanics, and how the body learns under pressure. Her teaching approach emphasizes technique that translates to the stage, clean ex*****on, and the ability to recover confidently in performance settings while always valuing expression, safety for dancers and community connection. She has worked closely with competitive dance teams and specialized youth programs, including developing the hip-hop branch of the competition teams at Pivotal Academy of Dance in Buda, TX, where she founded the PADlock Dance Crew. She has also collaborated with gymnastics academies to integrate dance technique into gymnasts’ training, supporting performance quality, musicality, and presentation. In parallel, Brooklyn has facilitated movement-based programming for Youth Residential Centers (RTCs), using dance and music to build emotional and nervous system regulation, focus, and self-expression—skills that directly support youth both on and off the stage. She is currently the co-owner of Inside Art Movement, where she and her husband design workshops and lessons that blend dance training, somatic movement, self-defense and mindset coaching, with the goal of helping dancers, performers and athletes move with confidence, consistency, and self-trust.
