Coach Sparkles

Director of Operations

My name is Leigh but the kiddos know me as Coach Sparkles! I have been dancing ever since I could walk and have developed a passion for teaching children and sharing my love for dance. After fifteen years of training and performing multiple dance styles, I went on to receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance from the University of North Texas. Upon graduating college, I got my dream internship working with the Hubbard Street Youth Dance Program in Chicago, IL. After a year of working with the youth dance program and taking class from world famous choreographers in Chicago, I decided to move back to the best state ever to continue my career in dance education. I started my journey with Gym Station in 2016 and my passion for teaching children has grown in so many ways! I started out as a dance coach and then had the opportunity to coach Flippers, Sports, and Fitness!  I was Gym Station's Dance Director for two years and am now the Director of Operations for the DFW area. I get to share the importance of living a healthy, active lifestyle with hundreds of children each week and that makes my job AWESOME!

Coach Peanut

Hi! My name is Chelsea but the kids know me as Coach Peanut. I have lived in Texas my whole life and love sports. I've played basketball, volleyball, softball and ran track since I was 5 years old and started dancing when I was twelve. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology at Prairie View A&M University and have been working with children since my sophomore year of college. I joined The Gym Station team because I love working with kids and am thrilled to share my knowledge and love of sports, fitness, and dance. It’s so exciting to see children learn new things while having fun!
