ABOUT US

Island Dance Academy is owned and operated by Brie Stacks. Brie is a native of Mobile, AL where she began her dancing career as a young dancer at Debbie’s School of Dance. She trained for many years as her passion for the art grew. At 12, she was admitted to a Performing Arts Middle School where she was able to immerse herself in technique and training as well as beginning her competitive dance career. Through the competition world, she was able to expand her horizons, training under master choreographers from all over the country.

As a graduate, she was awarded a scholarship to continue her education at Troy University as a member of the collegiate dance team where she earned her degree in Business with a Minor in Dance. She also served as Troy University Dance Team Co-captain and choreographer for several years and was even awarded Auxiliary [Dancer] of the year in 2005.

While in college, Brie traveled the southeast choreographing for dance studios and High School Dance teams. It was during this time she realized that sharing her passion with others was her true calling. In 2006, she opened

The Company Dance Center in Andalusia, Alabama. As owner and director, she led her students to numerous top awards, scholarships, regional and national titles and was even recognized nationally for her choreography.

After 10 years, it was time for her and her family to relocate. She has continued to choreograph professionally and stay involved in the dance world. Now, as she turns a new chapter, she is so excited to once again share her passion and love for dance with the children of south Baldwin County!
