Meet The Team

Hello Everyone, I'm Analise Cranney. As a wife, mom of 5, and now member of Rae House Dance Studio, I'm excited to contribute my passion, time, and experience. You'll find me supporting dancers, instructors, and keeping you informed. I'm dedicated to protecting and nurturing children, ensuring this studio remains a haven for positivity and growth. Rae House Dance Studio honors our family's dance heritage, including my MIL, Karla Rae Cranney. I look forward to sharing this journey with you and hope you feel the spirit of this studio. Thanks for being part of this community.

Hi my name is Liv! I was on the Ridgeline drill team for four full years of high school and was military captain my senior year! I love to dance, bake sourdough, go camping, fish, and spend time with my family and friends. I’m always down for a sweet treat and having a good time! I plan to attend dental school, be a mom and have a family of my own someday, and hope to always have dance be a part of my life.

Hi! My name is Piper! I’ve been dancing for 20 years, ballet being my main focus for 17 of them, though I’ve also studied in many other styles. I graduated from Ballet West Academy in 2022 and have been training, performing, modeling, and teaching freelance since! I love dancing, bringing joy to others, being creative in lots of different mediums, and spending time with my family and friends. I hope to dance for as long as absolutely possible, to keep dance integrated in my life, as well as always striving to inspire healthy and meaningful impacts through it in others’ lives. 

Hi! My name is Ava Buttars, and I am super excited to start teaching! I have danced for 14 years and I have spent the last 4 years on the drill team at Ridgeline High School. This year I get to serve as the Military Captain of the drill team. I also have been blessed to play softball for the last 6 years and have played on the softball team at Ridgeline. I love KitKats, the color pink, and spending time with my family and friends!

Hi! I’m Izzy and I’m so excited to be teaching at Rae House this year! I have been dancing for 14 years and have loved every second of it. I have been able to experience being on the Mountain Crest Drill team as well as the Cheerleading squad that I am still currently apart of. This past year I was able to help choreograph many fun halftime routines for Cheer and it is something that I love doing. I also enjoy boating, going to concerts, and dr. pepper. I can’t wait for this upcoming season!

Hi, I’m Talya! I was born and raised here in Cache Valley and have been dancing for as long as I can remember. I was a member of the drill team at Logan High School for two years where I got to be drill mistress my sophomore year, then spent my last two years of high school on the cheer team. After graduating, I taught at The Edge Dance Company for three years, then took a break from teaching to focus my time on being a mom and pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from USU. Dance has always been a huge part of my life and I love getting to know and connect with all of the dancers! I’m so excited for this season! 

Hi, I’m Brinlee! I danced at local studios in Cache Valley before dancing on the Ridgeline drill team for four years. I was the dance captain my senior year and started teaching after graduating. This will be my 6th year teaching studio dance! I love getting to be apart of young dancers’ journeys. I am also a USU grad and work as an elementary school speech/language therapist. I got married to my favorite guy last summer and together we love boating, dogs, and golf trips. I’m so excited to be teaching at Rae House!

Hi! My name is Gabi and I am very excited to be a part of Rae House. Dance has been with me my entire life and I was able to start teaching in 2022. Just a little bit about me, my favorite color is pink, I’m a huge cat lover, and I recently graduated from USU this spring! I am so so excited to see what is all in store for this season and I can’t wait to continue doing what I love most!!

Hi my name is Sierra! I have been dancing since I was 2 years old. I was on the Ridgeline drill team for all 4 years of high school. I served as historian my junior year and show captain my senior year. I love dancing, snow skiing, boating, and being outside. I plan to attend USU in the fall. And can’t wait to share my love for dance!
