Sydney Stoker
Director/Choreographer
Hey friends! I’m Sydney—the owner, director, biggest cheerleader, and occasional professional chaos coordinator here at Sky Dance Company!
Dance has been my happy place for as long as I can remember. It’s where I’ve celebrated, healed, dreamed, and expressed every emotion in between. Building Sky Dance Company has been one of the greatest adventures of my life, and there is nothing better than watching dancers discover just how capable they really are.
When I’m not living at the studio (because let’s be honest… I’m basically always here ), you’ll find me hanging out with my husband and our four awesome kids, chasing after our busy life, probably running on caffeine, and somehow still coming up with one more crazy idea for the studio.
I believe dance should be full of hard work, big goals, belly laughs, lifelong friendships, and memories you’ll never forget. I’m known for expecting your best, loving my dancers like family, being a little sarcastic, and cheering louder than anyone in the audience.
Kate Harrison
Intermediate/Advanced Instructor
Hi I’m Kate! I have been teaching at Sky for the past 4 years and it is the BEST!! I love Sky because everyone feels like my best friend, we truly have the best dance family around! My goal is to inspire dancers to embrace their passion, develop their artistry, and be confident on and off the stage. I believe dance is more than just technique - it’s about expressing your unique artistry and growing into a confident performer and person.
Besides dance, I also am a Hairstylist (taking clients! ), a retail associate (I LOVE clothes), and a nail tech (yes I do nails too!!). When I’m not working you’ll find me either at the gym, outside, shopping, or hanging out with my cute husband! AKA the best dance husband and future dance dad!
Londyn Ehlers
Advanced/Intermediate Assistant
Hi! I’m Londyn, and I’ve been dancing since I was 3 years old. I’m currently going into my third year on the Davis High Drill Team, and I love sharing my passion for dance by teaching at Sky. My favorite part of teaching is watching my dancers grow, improve their skills, and become proud of themselves. I hope to inspire every dancer to work hard, have fun, and gain confidence both in and out of the studio!
Aybrey Stoddard
Beginning/Intermediate Instructor
Hello! I’m Aybrey, one of the teachers at Sky Dance Company!
My love for dance started in 2010, where right off the bat I knew it was going to be a big part of my life. Dance for me is a safe place, one where I’m able to express every and any emotion without judgement. Not only that, it has taught me so many lessons and brought me so many people that have made me who I am. My love for it has only gotten bigger!
Art comes in many forms in my life; I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s in Graphic Design and have always loved drawing. A fun fact is some of my work has been sprinkled in Sky Dance Company over the years!
In my 5 years of teaching I have been so lucky to share my passion for dance with others, encouraging creativity and confidence in dancers. I hope to continue inspiring others to be proud, be brave, and be kind to themselves.
I’m looking forward to seeing this dance family grow!
Harley Tucker
Beginning/Intermediate Instructor
Hi, I’m Harley!
I started dancing 15 years ago, and it has been one of the biggest parts of my life ever since. Dance has always been my way of expressing my emotions and processing my thoughts. I’ve always dreamed of becoming a dance teacher, and I’m so excited to be starting my third year of teaching!
One of my favorite parts about teaching is getting to know each of my students and watching them grow in both their confidence and their technique. My goal is for every dancer who walks into my class to know they are loved, appreciated, and supported—not just as dancers, but as people. I hope they leave each class feeling more confident, encouraged, and excited to keep growing.
Outside of the studio, I’m working toward my degree in Family Studies with a minor in Child Development, with the goal of becoming a Child Life Specialist. When I’m not dancing or teaching, you’ll usually find me nannying, spending time with my family and my boyfriend, or hanging out with my cute dogs!!
I’m so grateful to be part of this dance family!

Cyndi Taranto
Refine & Align Instructor
Hi! I’m Cyndi
As the Founder & Director of Refine & Align, my mission is to help dancers build strength, resilience, and longevity in their craft. Refine & Align is designed to bridge the gap between dance and fitness, focusing on technique-specific strength, conditioning, injury prevention, and education to support dancers in performing at their highest level, both physically and mentally. My goal is to provide the missing piece that helps dancers move smarter, train stronger, and perform longer.
With a background as a former dancer trained in multiple genres, I spent several years teaching and coaching dance before expanding my focus to fitness and wellness. Today, I work with several dance studios throughout Davis County. I also serve as a judge for local dance competitions across Utah, which gives me additional insight into the technical, performance, and athletic demands dancers face in today’s competitive environment.
I LOVE my Sky family and feel so lucky to be part of this team with such amazing staff and dancers.
