Staci Scott

 

 

Staci Scott began her formal dance training at the age of three with Reston Institute for the Arts.  Through elementary, middle, and high school she performed countless dances with and for Ms. T.  While attending South Lakes High School she joined the Essence Dance Company also lead by Ms. T. 

Staci graduated from George Mason University with Bachelors of Fine Arts with a concentration of dance.  While at Mason she learned many types of dance including modern, ballet, jazz, tap, Indian, Asian, African, and hip hop, Afro- Caribbean, and salsa dance.  She was a member of a select group of dancers chosen from the GMU dance company to perform at various Fairfax County Schools.  These performances helped to expose children to dance and teach them that dance is universal and fun and anyone can do it. 

After graduation from Mason in 2002 Staci worked as a manager at Zany Brainy and the Right Start store, and coached the Langston Hughes dance team.  She currently works at Terraset Elementary School as an Instructional Assistant teaching autism.  Her future plans include going back to school to receive her masters degree in early childhood education and continuing to teach and perform all types of dance.
