About the Artistic Director & Owner
Oakley Palfreyman Johnson has danced for 19 years including 9 years at Lifehouse Performing Arts Academy and 2 years at Southern Utah University (SUU) where she received her Associate's Degree in Dance Education. During her time at SUU she was selected as the college's Performer of the Year and became a presidency member of their dance company “Orchesis”. She was also selected as Salem Hills High Schools Dance Sterling Scholar in 2019. She has been invited to teach and choreograph for multiple schools throughout Utah Valley including Maple Mountain High School, Salem Hills High School, Springville High School, and Provo High School. Her dream to help others enjoy dance as much as she has through her own dance studio became a reality in June of 2023 when she opened the Oaks Dance Studio in Santaquin, UT. This studio focuses on helping the community come together and helping each other reach their potential. She is excited to share the love of dance in her community and see the difference that dance makes.
