Audience of One LLC was formed in 2020 by Rebecca Long Hayes. However, the work of Audience of One began almost a decade earlier with small choreography jobs for local high schools. Inspired to create unique and innovative routines for high school dance teams, Rebecca set out to start a company that would be able to work with multiple dance teams simultaneously throughout band camps and football seasons.
Audience of One then expanded into a pageant choreography service, choreographing for Wallace State Community College, Pinson Valley High School, Rudd Middle School, and more. We also became a pageant preparation service. We have now grown to be able to offer our students lessons in evening gown walk, swimsuit walk/fitness routine, on-stage question, and mock interview sessions (in addition to creating dancers' talent routines).
After becoming a full-time studio and opening our doors in August of 2021, God blessed us tremendously and we grew very quickly. Because of God's faithfulness, blessing, and provision, we are thrilled to announce that we have built our very own facility right off of interstate 65 in Hayden! Since moving into our new space, we are now also offering baton twirling classes and colorguard (flag) clinics! Our prayer is that we can now help all students who are preparing to be on their high school's auxiliary lines (dance, guard, and majorette)! We are faithfully expectant of all the wonderful opportunities that God is going to allow us to have through offering classes to our communities year-round.
The heart behind Audience of One has always been to use our talents to glorify God and to teach the importance of knowing that our identity comes from Christ. Whether we are teaching dance in a studio setting or on a football field, or we are helping students with their interview skills or pageant walk, our intentions are to pour into our students and speak life over them. We strive to always remind our students that who they are is more important than the title they possess, the crown they wear, or the awards they may win at competition.
“Growing up as a dancer and a performer, I experienced more stage fright and nervous jitters than I care to remember. Through countless hours of rehearsals and competitions, I learned how to dance through the nerves. But once I learned how to dance in the freedom of performing for an audience of One, everything changed.”
