DANCERS
Jeff has played a vital role not only as a dancer on the team, but also in the creativity in combining various line dances and rearranging elements that the team has taken to the dance floor for their performances. |
Haley has enjoyed the world of line dancing ever since her mother introduced it to her at the age of 12. In addition to rocking it out on the dance floor with her line dance moves, she swing dances and 2 steps also. When she's not dancing, she's on her motorcycle or 4-wheelin'. |
Laurie has been on the team since the beginning. Before the Wild Team, she was on the award winning "Step in Time" line dance team led by Rose. Her other dance accomplishments include taking 2nd place at the special competition for "Bombshell Stomp" at Worlds in 2007. |
Sharon is easy to spot on the dance floor. Whether it be line dancing with the team, stunt work in the choreographed routines, or all those flips while swing dancing, she's a great addition to the group! |
Chris has been line dancing for over 5 years, something he discovered while he was living in New York. He moved down to Atlanta in 2006 and has since picked up west coast swing, night club, and 2 step. His other interests include auto-crossing in his Mini Cooper. |
Jena fell in love with line dancing and west coast swing in 2004 when she stepped into Wild Bill's for the first time. Initially learning through dance classes at UGA, She has since expanded her range of dances to include 2step, night club, cha cha all the other various ballroom styles (10+ total!) and even has some teaching experience under her belt. When she is not dancing, she enjoys travel and art. |
Kristi is one of our 2 team members chosen to compete in a line dance competition at Worlds 2007. Her creativing styling in the dance Bombshell Stomp earned her 1st place bragging rights and an encore performance back at Wild Bills upon her return. Her 17+ years of experience in gymnastics and cheerleading have definately influenced her stylings and rise to the top! |
Isaac has been on the team since 2006 and is best known for his couples work. When he's not dancing on the team, he can be found around Atlanta teaching some of his lindy moves. |
Brittany has been line dancing ever since 2004 and joined the team in 2007. When she is not dancing, she is out and about as a photographer. Her and her husband have both done the photography work for some of our events. |
Jeramy has a smooth dance style in couples and line dancing that you can't help but stop and watch. When he is not on the floor, he is spending time with his family new little baby boy. |
Scotty Bilz is a very welcome addition to the team. This nationally known clogging choreographer and instructor has been a great help to the Wild Team. A huge THANK YOU goes out to Scotty in opening his studio's doors to give us much needed practice space for our specialty team. When he is not dancing with the Wild Team, he can be found leading his cloggers to top medals in the Junior Olympics as well as various exibitions around the state.
Tyler brings alot of dance experience to the table. With 11 years of clogging under his belt (and also some hip-hop, ballroom, and swing in the mix), it is no suprise that he has already danced alongside names such as Mariah Carey, LL Cool J, and Justin Timberlake. Other achievements include dancing in the Atlanta's Greatest Jr. Dancers show, being the 2005 National Men's Solo Clogging champion, being inducted into the ACHF All American Clogging Team, and winning 18 medals from Jr. Olympic competitions. Not only is he a great dancer, but he has been the captain of his football team for the past 2 years. "Never give up, never back down, never lose faith."
Jamie joined the team in 2008 after moving to Atlanta from Pennsylvania. (Becoming yet another non-southern native joining the ranks of the team!) She enjoys travel and while still in college, participated in a semester at sea allowing her to circle the globe stopping at numerous parts of the world along the way. With 2009, she has begun to learn West Coast Swing and hopes to add this to her knowlege of line dancing. |
Mike R. is another one of our clogging experts that we are proud to have as a part of our team. As a past dance instructor with 20 years of dance experience under his belt, it is no suprise to find him dancing on the All American Clogging Team! |
Mike A. (AKA "Big Mike") is our resident stunt guy. He's the one you will see any given night at Wild Bills flipping the girls and holding them above his head in the air! Catch him dancing with Sharon, and you're in for a treat! Mike was one of our dancers who had the priviledge of dancing in the filming of "Tyler Perry's Family that Preys" and has also been invited to perform at corporate events as well. |
