Meet our Coaching Staff

Coach Lexi began dancing at the age of three and continued throughout high school as a member of the McFarland Dance Team. Her lifelong passion for dance inspired her to pursue coaching and share her love of the sport with future generations of dancers.

Her coaching career began shortly after high school when she led the McFarland Dance Team program from 2011 to 2018. From 2018 to 2021, she took a brief step back from the program to continue her education, focus on her career, and get married. During that time, she remained actively involved in the dance community by assisting with the Stoughton Dance Team and serving on the Board of Directors for WACPC.

Coach Lexi has experience in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, kick, pom, and hip hop as both a performer and instructor. Throughout her coaching career, she has choreographed numerous state-qualifying routines and was selected to choreograph for the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse in 2018. In 2025, she helped lead the McFarland Dance Team to its first state championship title in program history with a Division 2 Jazz championship, along with several top-five state finishes.

Outside of coaching, Lexi enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and her dogs, Drax and Loki. She currently works as a National Field Support Manager for Red Bull North America.

Coach Amber began dancing at the age of three, training at local studios before joining the McFarland High School Dance Team. She continued her dance career at Carroll University, where she further developed her passion for the sport before transitioning into coaching.

Amber began her coaching career in 2013 at Waukesha South High School before returning home to join the McFarland High School Dance Team coaching staff in 2014. During her time with the program, she also founded and served as the middle school coach, helping young dancers build a strong foundation and love for dance. After stepping away from coaching to focus on her career, Amber remained actively involved in the dance community through choreography, routine cleaning, competition support, and custom costume design.

Upon returning to McFarland in 2022, Amber is excited to be back co-coaching alongside her sister, Lexi. One of her proudest accomplishments is helping coach the McFarland Dance Team to its first-ever state championship title in program history with a Division 2 Jazz championship in 2025, along and several top-five finishes at State.

Outside of coaching, Amber enjoys spending time with family, friends, and her dog, Rocky. She also loves traveling and exploring new places. Professionally, Amber works as a Solutions Architect for a software company based in McFarland.

Coach Annie has been dancing since the age of three. She danced at a local studio in Stoughton, WI, and later was a part of her high school dance team. In high school, she was chosen as team captain for two years and helped lead her team to State many times. She was also selected as a top soloist for WACPC and named to the D2 All-State Dance Team. Annie later took her love for dance to college, where she danced on the University of Milwaukee Panther Dance team.

 Annie is currently studying at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, where she plans to graduate to pursue a career as a Dietitian.

 Coach Annie has always loved being a leader and loves to watch individuals grow and achieve their goals. Watching her team work hard and display a passion for their sport is one of her favorite aspects of coaching. 

Coach Sophie has been dancing from the age of 3, starting at her local dance studio in La Crosse, WI. She was a member of the Aquinas High School dance team, winning 4 state titles and serving as captain for 2 years.

Upon high school graduation in 2021, Sophie was a member of the University of Wisconsin Dance Team for 4 years. She served as a team captain for 2 years. Throughout her time on the UW dance team, she was a 3x recipient of the All-Big Ten first team award and All-Big Ten rookie team award. Coach Sophie is proud to have helped lead her team to a 6th place finish in the D1A pom division at the 2025 UDA College National Championship. 

Outside of her dance career, Sophie received a BS in pharmaceutical sciences from the University of Wisconsin, and is continuing pharmacy school at UW with the hopes of receiving her PharmD in 2028.
