Samantha Boggs, Owner
My name is Samantha (Burfitt) Boggs and I became the owner of The Dance Company in June 2014. I was raised and learned to love dance in Tullahoma where I now live my husband D.J. and daughters Sadie and Zoe. I am the Tullahoma High School AristoCATS Show Choir choreographer. I graduated from MTSU with a degree in Elementary Education and I decided to stop teaching and coaching cheerleading. I enjoyed my career as a teacher, but when Carole and Ashley presented the opportunity to take over TDC, I couldn't turn them down! I have over 20 years of dance experience, 10 of those years under Carole and Ashley. I am so honored that I get to carry on their dream of inspiriting students to love dance, just like they inspired me and hundreds of other students.

Deanna Bratcher
My name is Deanna Barton Bratcher and I will be assisting with dance classes. I am so excited to be able to help TDC and to get the opportunity to do something that I love, dance! The Dance Company is very near to my heart. I was one of Carole's first students when she first opened the studio here in Tullahoma. She supported me in life, not just in dance. Ashley is a close family friend and they both taught my daughter, Katelyn. After I graduated from Tullahoma High School, I attended The University of Tennessee Knoxville where I was a member of The Dance Team. I have over 20 years of dance experience and stage performance. I am so honored and excited to teach your children.

Kelsey Brassfield
My name is Kelsey Brassfield. I was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I started dancing when I was three years old and started competing when I was six. By age nine, I decided I wanted to go to a different studio for more challenging choreography and intense training. I competed around the country and had the opportunity to perform in New York City at Nationals. I was blessed with first place overall! When I was twelve, my family and I moved to Tullahoma, Tennessee and the first thing we had to find was a dance studio. I was very pleased when I found The Dance Company and thankful to continue dancing until I graduated high school. After I graduated from Tullahoma High School, I had an awesome opportunity to work with the previous owners, Carole and Ashley. I have over 18 years of dance experience. I'm excited to be working with The Dance Company.
