Payton’s life has always been filled with dance, a fact that she is the most grateful for. Having trained throughout her life in jazz, ballet, tap, hip-hop, acro, commercial, lyrical, contemporary, pom, modern & improv, she always is seeking opportunities explore different styles. Growing up in a studio her mother owned, she knew from a young age the importance of professionalism and a positive attitude. Payton’s positivity is the biggest asset she has bringing into every project, and she hopes to work with you as well!

Having grown up dancing, of course music has always been a vital heartbeat of Payton’s life! From a young age, she enjoyed singing in choirs, show choir, and musicals growing up, but as she shifted her sights to professional performance, the triple threat aspect took over! Since then, she has trained at AMDA, taken vocal lessons, musical theatre classes, studied scenes and acting concepts, and is constantly expanding her view of the performance world!

Payton is personally driven to make the entertainment industry healthier and more accessible. Through her work with her positive coaching choreography, her industry event, the connection, & working with AMDA as an outreach team member for the Dance program, she is certain she is making an immense impact on performers all over!
