KOTTER
I'm Micah Kotter, owner of Lonestar Dance Center, entertainment enthusiast, and life-long dancer. I am passionate about sharing my love of dance to promote confidence in each of my students and grateful for the chance to teach the next generation. Besides teaching, you can find me with coffee in hand, singing, cheering on the Horns, exploring the Greenbelt, and eating Tex Mex.

WHERE PASSION
IS PASSED DOWN
"I truly believe that dance has the power to instill confidence and discipline in young dancers, and that the lessons learned in the studio carry students through many seasons of their lives."
