Lana's Dance Studio began in 1979 under the direction of Lana Wright, and for 45 years the studio has been welcoming young dancers, with Lana celebrating her 46th year as Owner and Director. The mission of Lana's Dance Studio Programs is to offer a wide variety of classes in a non-competitive environment where a child’s well-being is the first priority, with structured classes that teach listening skills and focus on dancers from their youngest years through young adulthood. The program includes combination classes offering ballet and tap or jazz and lyrical, summer combination classes, hip hop classes for dancers looking for an outlet for lots of energy, intensive classes for dancers seeking extra push in technique and choreography or combo skills, and two weeks of master classes during the intensive and competitive team workshops. Programs start as young as 18 months old and continue through adults, and the staff includes a Nutritionist Advisor and a Physical Therapist Advisor.
The leadership team includes Owner and Director Lana Wright; Co-Director of Competitive Teams Leila Wright Bobzien; Director of Recreational Dance and Office Manager Angie Dixon; Resident Choreographer Cassidy Paskett Webb; competitive team staff Kara Richey and Chloe Cance; Director of Adult Programs Pauline Locsin-Kanter; and instructors Madison Muro Mills and Evelyn Burch for recreational classes and competitive teams. Additional resident choreographers include Tori Evans and Josh Escover, with Lauren Venosta serving as Nutritionist Advisor and Erin Schulz as Physical Therapist Advisor. Lana has set routines for the Sacramento Kings Fast Break Dancers and the San Jose Jammer Girls, judged and choreographed for Dance Masters of America Competitions/Conventions and I Love Dance, and taught as a guest teacher and choreographer in Australia, Florida, Texas, and Lake Tahoe. Leila has trained with teachers including Mark Meismer, Cindy Ricalde, Keri Quinn, Jackie Sleight, Mia Michaels, and Kristin Needham, and holds a BS in Business Management with a minor in Speech Communication from San Jose State University. Angie holds a BA in Organizational Communication from Sacramento State University, and Cassidy Paskett Webb holds a Bachelor of Arts in Dance Performance and a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Chapman University.
Lana formed her first competition team within a couple of years of opening and has received many choreography awards for her tap style, with students who have gone on to careers with The Radio City Music Hall Rockettes and professional sports dance teams. Leila has held titles including Miss Headliner, Miss Showbiz, Miss StarPower, Miss Elite Dance Rave, Miss KAR, and LA Underground and LA Dance Magic awards, was an overall high score soloist for over eight years, and a member of an overall high scoring competition team for fourteen years. She was a member of the I Love Dance Sweethearts for eight years and traveled with them to Japan in 1994 and Australia in 1998, was crowned Miss Almaden Valley USA in 1999 and placed in the Top 15 in the Miss California USA Pageant, was Miss Gilroy Garlic Festival Queen in 2000, and received SaberKitten Dancer of the Year honors in 2001 and 2002 and SaberKitten of the Year in 2003. Lana has performed throughout the community at various events, rest homes, and for the troops at Fort Ord, and Leila’s role as Miss Gilroy Garlic Festival Queen in 2000 included serving her community and volunteering at the Garlic Festival.
