Miss Hadlee– Studio Owner/Instructor

Miss Hadlee Willy has been dancing at Joyful Dance Studio since 2011. Over the years, she has served as a Student Assistant, a Student Co-Teacher, and now, for the past five years, as a lead instructor. On July 11th, 2025 Miss Hadlee became the Owner of JDS Legacy Dance! She treasures the opportunity to be the kind of mentor she once looked up to as a young dancer.

Mrs. Brandi – Studio Director/Instructor

Mrs. Brandi Morgan joined our teaching staff in 2021 and currently serves as our Studio Director in addition to being a valued instructor. Brandi began dancing as a child in the Tulsa area and brings years of performance and competition experience to the studio. She has a special gift for working with our preschool dancers and leads with heart, organization, and vision. We are so grateful for her leadership, dedication, and hard work—both in and out of the classroom.

Mrs. Amy – Billing Manager

Mrs. Amy is our Billing Manager, but she wears many, many hats at the studio. Not only is she Miss Hadlee’s mom, but she’s can also be found rhinestoning, steaming, and bagging costumes, organizing behind the scenes, keeping Mrs. Brandi in line (which is no small task!), and making sure every single dancer feels seen, supported, and loved. She truly keeps our studio running smoothly and joyfully.

Learning Through Dance

  Do you have a dancer between the ages of 2-5? Research shows that movement is the KEY to a child’s development. Did you know that a child’s brain develops the most between birth and the age of 5? At JDS we take a brain-based approach and consider the developing brain in our dance education and curriculum. Children this age learn best through play! “Play” in dance class is exploring all the amazing ways our bodies can move, developing movement skills, and expressing our individual creativity. We have a GREAT Preschool Dance resource if you would like to read more. Just follow  this link  to see the post and find the file on BAND. As always, if you ever have a concern or question, do not hesitate to reach out to us! You can email the studio at JDSLegacyDance@gmail.com or text/call us at 918-944-6257, or message us through BAND. Enroll and watch your dancer grow!

Why Proper Stretching is Important for Dancers

This is why we take a few minutes during the beginning of all of our classes to make sure our dancers are properly stretched and warm. Why do we stretch during class? -To Improve Your Class and Performance Experience – Stretching enables you to loosen your muscles and gets your whole body prepared for dance class and performances.  -To Increase Muscle Length and Flexibility – Stretching often will allow you to create length so you can do things like kicking your leg higher or have more extension in your leaps. -Decreases and Manages Stress – Stress can have a ripple effect on your muscles and build up unwelcome tension. Taking the time to stretch properly allows your body to relax and ease tension. -Promotes Blood Circulation and Relieves Pain – Stretching increases blood flow to your muscles which in...
