Business owner, Director, and Dance Instructor

Brooke Nagy was a Rockette for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular in 2012. She then traveled the world, performing with Stilletto Entertainment on the Holland America Cruise Lines. She taught dance for the Pre-Professional program at Oklahoma City University’s Community Dance Center and performed locally with RACE Dance Company. She also joined Champagne Creative Group, based out of Las Vegas, where she performed different dance gigs nationally.

She grew up dancing in North Carolina at the Academy of Dance and Fine Arts. Through training in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, pointe, gymnastics, and musical theatre, she was chosen to perform at the Charlotte Philharmonic Christmas Spectacular at the Blumenthal Theatre in NC in high school. She continued her training in Oklahoma City, where she graduated with her Bachelor in Performing Arts at Oklahoma City University. She was a dancer and line captain for every Christmas and spring production with the Oklahoma City University American Spirit Dance Company and has toured with them, as well. She was part of the Spirit of Grace Liturgical Company and Pep dancers at basketball games. She performed at the Oklahoma City Centennial next to stars such as Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and Sandra Day O’Connor. Right after graduation, she danced in a film, directed by Nick Cassavetes, and was in several local Oklahoma commercials. Lastly, she has judged for numerous dance competitions nationwide. Throughout her experiences she has continued to teach students, and loves sharing her passion of dance!

Brooke now resides in Rockford, IL with her wonderful, loving, and supportive husband Justin LeMaster and amazing family. She was originally born in Hinsdale, IL but moved at the age of two. She has lived in several different states, but made a full circle back to her home state. When she is not teaching or dancing, she loves to spend time with her family, be outside, try new food, and stay in touch with her long-distance friends. She is thrilled to be stepping into Mary Lee’s shoes and continuing to do what she loves every single day.
