Teachers

The 2025-2026 dance year marks Ann Freeman Dance Academy's 65th year of dance education in the Hickory area.
However, Ann Freeman retired after 67 years of teaching, including her time teaching in Asheville, North Carolina, for Beale and Maria Fletcher.

Mrs. Freeman sold the studio to her daughter, Jackie Olson, in 2012. Along with Mrs. Jackie and eight other staff members, two guest teachers,
and office manager, Mrs. Laura, Ann Freeman Dance Academy continues the tradition of dance education.
