Debbie Carney 

​

Ms. Debbie began teaching at the Fort Smith School of Ballet. While there, she was a member of the Fort Smith Ballet Company, under the direction of Leisa Gramlich and Mary Gunn. She was a member of the Southern Association of Dance Masters for many years. 

She has travelled around the country to study dance of all genres. She completed a summer choreography intensive at the University of South Florida with such noted choreographers as Mia Michaels and Alonzo King. 
She is involved with local community theatre both onstage and behind the scenes and also loves being a part of local historical reenactments. 

Her favorite dance quote is from Martha Graham:  “ Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.”
