The faculty of Audience of One Dance Studio
Karen Napier, Director
While studying dance, Karen grew weary of seeing Christianity removed from the art, and vowed to provide a place where Christian dancers could study classical ballet and other dance arts in a God-glorifying manner. This became the Audience of One dance studio. Our mission is to always dance in God's honor, whether in our studio classroom or a national ballet competition. Mrs. Karen reared her daughters in a dancing home, and it is a joy to have them now teaching for her, in this family dance ministry.

Celeste Wickware McGuire, Instructor
I grew up dancing with Audience of One (back then it was called "Covenant Dance". A year before starting to teach at AOO, I taught at a different studio. God used that year to teach me that what the Napiers and ultimately He had created at AOO was the only dance atmosphere that I would ever want to teach in. This will be my second year teaching at Audience of One Dance. I am so thankful for being invited into the instructor and Napier family with open arms!
