Meet the Owner
Darcey Sunken
Darcey Sunken has 30 plus years of experience in the dance world. At just the young age of 2, Darcey began dancing at her local studio where she grew to not only love dance but also teaching. During her teenage years she quickly realized that owning her own dance studio someday would be a dream!
In 2009 Darcey followed her dreams and opened The Next Step Dance Studio. From 2009-2013 she owned and operated the studio. In the Fall of 2013 Darcey took a break from being the owner and decided to take on the role of studio director. BUT....... a few years down the road, Darcey once again followed her dreams and retook ownership of the studio in 2020.
Darcey is supported by her husband Tyler and two children.
