Lead Dance Instructor
Randi Bateman
Randi has danced with the studio since she was 3 years old. She started as a student teacher when she was 13, under Miss Patsy. She attended Kutztown University where she received her Bachelor's degree in Elementary education and Early Childhood Education. She also has her Master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages through Messiah College. She missed dancing greatly while pursing her degrees and always found a way back to the studio. She expanded her dance education through Dance Masters of America's Teacher Training School, spending one
week each summer for 5 years atending Master level teaching workshops and classes. This training certified me to teach Tap and Modern, and better prepared
me to teach Jazz and Ballet. I love to teach and dancing makes me feel good.
