Meet Our Teachers

I am Heather Mineer!! I am the Owner of the Color Country Cloggers and Sunshine Dance- Parowan. I am blessed to have a beautiful studio to run my classes in. I love teaching children and seeing their confidence and talent grow! I want the studio to be a safe place where students love to be! I have the best job ever! I am married to David Mineer, and have 5 children, 3 of them are married and I have the cutest grand babies ever!! I love to travel, read, vacuum, and be with my family!!

Hello my name is Saydee Halterman! I was born and raised in Parowan and am honored to raise my family here as well. I danced at Sunshine Dance, danced on the drill team, started teaching at 15 and then toured internationally on The American Folk Dance Team as an adult. I love to balance pushing the girls to be great and also just loving them and laughing with them in dance class. I found a safe place in the studio and that’s my goal with all the dancer’s I teach. My favorite styles of dance are lyrical and clogging. My favorite things to do are be outside, house projects and be a mom to the cutest girl in the world!

Though Bee is not with us in person, she is with us in spirit and says she is cheering on all her teams and can't wait to join our team again!

Hey I'm Haley!

My love of dance started at just 2 years old when I began dancing! I have continued to dance throughout my life whenever the opportunity presents itself including touring with the SUU Ballroom dance team. I especially love clogging! I have teaching experience in clogging, ballet, hiphop, jazz, contemporary, lyrical and tumbling. I am so excited to be back in the studio after being away for a few years! I have 3 adorable kids- Rowan, Hazely, and Harper (Cozy)! I love being a mom to them. I am grateful for the support of my husband Aaron, who encourages the weekly commute to the Mother Town to teach!

We are so excited to have Madee join our team this year!

Hi! I’m Ellie Hale!
My passion for dance started at the early age of 3. I was on the edge of my seat watching the Nutcracker!
For 15 years my Saturdays were spent growing me as a dancer at the Esther Moody Ballet Co in WI.
I also found the joy of teaching younger ballerinas when I was a teen. Now, in my 40’s, I’m back at it again, and loving it! I’ve been at Sunshine Dance since January 2020 and excited for what this year brings! I love kids! It’s probably why I have 5 of my own!
I met and married the cowboy of my dreams 17 years ago, who, with a little persuading will swing me around the kitchen dance floor! On days when we’re tired of the homeschool routine, the kids and I can be found taking a much needed break = DANCE PARTY!
