Miss Karley’s passion for dance drives her desire to share this art form with young dancers, which is one of the reasons she loves teaching. She finds inspiration in building meaningful relationships with her students and their families, watching them flourish into beautiful dancers and young ladies.

 Payton's dance journey began when she was nine years old in her hometown of Paso Robles, Ca. She began training in ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, tap, musical theater and modern.  She was a member of the Paso Robles Chamber Ballet Company as well as on competition groups at her home studio.  Through her training, she has had the opportunity to travel to Washington, Arizona, Texas, and statewide to attend festivals, workshops, and competitions.  Growing up, she also danced in productions of The Nutcracker, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, and other original works which not only made her fall in love with dancing but performing as well.

Payton was also a member of the Fresno State Dance Team for three years.  During her time on the team, she had the opportunity to travel to the Mountain West Championship in 2022 and Bowl games in Idaho, New Mexico, and Los Angeles.  Her experience on the team opened her up to new styles of dance as well as broadened her technique foundation.  She still loves any opportunity she gets to cheer on the Bulldogs!

Payton started teaching when she was fifteen years old and was the director of the mini competition team at her home studio for three years. This is where she fell in love with teaching.  She feels incredibly blessed to still have dance be a major aspect of her life and that she gets to share her passion and love with young dancers.

Payton will graduate Fresno State University in May of 2025 obtaining a degree in Business Administration with an option in Marketing.
