Growing up in the performing arts, she did; Choir, Theater Arts, Musical Theater, Chamber Choir, Jazz, Tap, Hip hop, Contemporary, and some Ballroom dancing. She stayed active throughout her school years excelling in leadership positions like: Cheer Captain, Multiple Honor Societies, Student Council, Basketball Captain, Volleyball Captain, and Section Leader in Choir for a few examples. She has always enjoyed being part of a team, and being a spark to the team, and her team mate\u2019s victories and accomplishments.<\/p>\n<p>Her older sister, Tiffany, had moved through the Professional Fred Astaire system, and had contacted Steffany about a receptionist position available at the Memorial Studio in Houston. Steffany accepted the position thinking it was the perfect fill in job while she finished her College Career. Within the first 3 months she knew that she was never leaving the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Proving that she had leadership qualities, she moved up quickly being a mentor and catalyst to the Memorial Studio Team\u2019s success as one of the top studios internationally; as well as being awarded the prestigious \u201cTexas Region Outstanding Top Executive Manager\u201d award for 2015 and 2016.<\/p>\n<p>In November of 2016 She moved to San Antonio to challenge herself on a new level as Co-owner of the Stone Oak Studio.

The look on their face the instant they\u2019ve realized their \u201cimpossible\u201d goal is in reach, is the reason I wake up every morning,\u201d Steffany explains why she loves what she does. She is grateful to FADS for providing a fun &amp; challenging venue to exercise her passion for guiding people to becoming better versions of themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the studio you can find Steffany painting, singing karaoke, hosting a game night, fishing, or trying new restaurants with her husband. Since leaving Houston, she finds herself back on her home turf regularly visiting and being an active &amp; loving aunt to her nephew Lane and niece Rylee!<\/p>\n<p>A few of her favorite sayings:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are always people out there who tell you, you can\u2019t. What you have to do is turn around and say \u2018Watch Me\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are no limits to what you can accomplish, except the limits you place on yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7441,"template":"","class_list":["post-6937","team_member","type-team_member","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/stone-oak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team_member\/6937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/stone-oak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team_member"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/stone-oak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/team_member"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/stone-oak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team_member\/6937\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/stone-oak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/stone-oak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
