MEET THE TEAM
Lacey Simoneau, Owner and Director
Lacey was born and raised in the lakes area of Minnesota until she married Jason. They moved to Thief River Falls 17+ years ago. They have 3 children, 1 dog and 2 cats. Family life is very important to her. She finds joy in providing a warm home full of life and good food for her family and anyone who stops by. Music, dance, and the arts have always been a big part of Lacey’s life as well.
As a child she would watch old musicals over and over just to learn the dances. When she was a young teen she found the theatre and never looked back. Lacey has been performing on the stage for 25 years. While participating in theatre productions, she had the chance to study under some incredible drama coaches and choreographers. Lacey has had the opportunity to choreograph multiple musicals and direct as well. She also taught dance for 2 years at a local dance studio. Lacey loves to teach, especially the little ones. Her favorite styles of dance are jazz and contemporary. Dance is an expression and she loves to help everyone learn how to express themselves through it! “Dance is a language everyone can speak.” - Miss Lacey

Jason Simoneau, Owner
Jason was born and raised in a very small town in North Dakota. He and Lacey have been married since 2001 and have 2 children. His faith and family are priorities in his life. He also enjoys hunting, golfing, and training bird dogs.
His handy-man and do-it-yourself skills have been utilized by the studio and he enjoys spending time with all the kids. His day job is at Digi-Key Electronics as a Supplier Business Development Director and this requires him to travel fairly often. The arts - especially dance - were not understood or appreciated until he met Lacey. He now sees how dance can change peoples' lives for the better and enjoys being a part of our dance studio.
