FWDA co-owner, Maggie Hamlin, a former TCU Showgirl captain and Dallas Mavericks dancer, is bringing three decades of dance experience to FWDA.
“Since the age of three, I’ve had a burning passion for dance,” said Maggie Hamlin, FWDA co-owner. “I’ve dreamt of owning my own studio for as long as I can remember. Finally, with the support of my business partner, Tanner Whitson, we’re making my childhood dreams a reality, and I couldn’t possibly be more excited. My goal is to provide top-tier instruction in a positive atmosphere so everyone, from preschoolers to adults, can experience the joy of dance at FWDA.”
