What is the story behind your business?

Brandy Christensen is the business owner and began dancing at a young age stomping on the rodeo barrels in her grandparents backyard. She continued her love for dance and movement as a cheerleader in Jr High then on to Dance Company and Drill Team in High School. However, during her Senior Year in High School she was involved in a serious car accident that nearly took her life and her leg. Through extensive physical therapy and hard work for two years, she was finally able to continue dancing and made her way to audition for the Utah Jazz Dancers. Throughout her 8 years on the team she choreographed and performed numerous halftime routines and had the opportunity to perform at many local events as well as the European International Basketball Championships where she choreographed halftime and time-out routines. Brandy also performed in the ceremonies for the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.

For the past 25+ years Brandy has worked with several drill teams, dance studios, cheer teams, and soloists across Utah and has been an adjudicator at many state and national dance competitions. Brandy’s passion for dance and teaching led her to open Starstruck, a studio geared towards helping children and teens discover the best in themselves through dance. Since it’s opening in 2008, Starstruck has grown tremendously and has provided dancers with the opportunity to learn in a welcoming and constructive environment. Brandy was the head coach for the Weber High School Drill Team from 2014 – 2020 and enjoyed being able to work with so many dancers both in the studio and at the High School. She is also an Accredited Interscholastic Coach (AIC) for the National Federation of High School Associations (NFHS).

Brandy is passionate about her family, health and nutrition, and helping people discover the best in themselves. Brandy is a wife and mother of 3 beautiful children, two of which are also dancers and her son is a sports and horse fanatic. She has loved being able to work with so many studios, directors, and dancers through Starstruck Dance & Tumbling as well as Starstruck Dance Competitions and hopes that dancers will continue to feel inspired and motivated to continue pursuing their dreams as they work and dance within our studio family.
