Brielle Hamer

Hello! My name is Brielle Hamer, and I teach pre-teen competition clogging, intermediate/advanced clogging, and 1st – 3rd tap, ballet, hip hop, and jazz this year! I started dancing at SDA when I was three years old and continued to dance here for 15 years and competed for 6 of them. I was on the Bison Dance Team all four years of high school and was a freshman when we took home a state championship title in High Kick! I’ve trained in many different styles throughout the years including ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, modern/contemporary, and clogging, with my favorites being clogging and hip hop. I would love to dance on a Broadway stage in New York whether it’s a performance or just for fun!

​

While I’m originally from Central City, I now live in Aurora with my cat, Everest, and I spend my days working at Aurora Cooperative as a Marketing Coordinator. Day-to-day, I mostly utilize my graphic design degree but also get to do video/photo work and communications. I spend my nights either teaching dance, choreographing, or building Legos. My favorite set I’ve built is the Disney Castle, and I hope to build the grand piano one day!

​

After graduation, I took a year off from dance but was super fortunate to be brought on as an intern instructor for the 24/25 season and am in my second year as an instructor this year! My favorite part of teaching is getting to see the kids every week, not only to spread my passion for dance through them, but to also hear how their days have been, grow relationships with them individually, and create a safe place for them in the studio! I hope they not only learn how to dance through me but also that they can always be themselves and there will be somebody in their corner. Miss Becky and the studio were my safe place, and I hope to be that for all my students as well no matter what age they are! At SDA, I hope to help our dancers bloom by improving their confidence – both as a dancer and as an individual!
