Our Journey
The Legacy of Tammie Locklar's Dance Studio
Founded by Tammie Locklar, our studio has been a cornerstone of the Odessa dance community for over three decades. Tammie’s journey from a local dancer to a professional performer and studio owner is a testament to her dedication and love for dance. She began her career right here in Odessa, teaching at the very studio she now owns. Under her guidance, countless students have found their passion for dance, whether they pursue it professionally or simply for the joy it brings.
Our studio is more than just a place to learn dance; it’s a family. We nurture our dancers from their first steps to their final bow, providing a supportive and encouraging environment. Many of our alumni have gone on to achieve great success, from performing on cruise ships to joining prestigious collegiate dance teams and even moving to Los Angeles to chase their dreams. At Tammie Locklar’s Dance Studio, we believe in helping each dancer find their unique path, equipped with the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
