Shayla Martin

Hi, I’m Lashay! Working with me is all about growth, confidence, and creativity. I create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable exploring movement while also being challenged to push their limits. With over 16 years of experience as a performer and teacher, I bring both professional expertise and a passion for helping dancers connect to the art form on a deeper level.

My students don’t just learn steps—they build strong technique, performance skills, and an understanding of dance history and culture. I’ve performed at major venues like the Hobby Center, Wortham Center, Miller Outdoor Theatre, and Discovery Green, and I’m part of community organizations such as Bgirl City and World of Dance. That background allows me to bring both professional insight and community-driven values into every class.

I’ll do an excellent job because I care about each student’s journey. Whether you’re brand new to dance or preparing for the stage, I tailor my teaching to your goals, making sure you leave every session feeling stronger, more confident, and inspired.
