Xan Barrell Tap | Jazz | Jr Company | Acro

Xan Barrell comes to us from Showstars Dance Academy in Brighton, Tn, where she has worked since 2019.  Xan’s teaching focuses on developing technique in whatever genre she is teaching, whether it's Tap, Jazz, Ballet or Acro.  After being chosen to attend the prestigious Governor's school in 2020 and 2021, Xan decided to attend MTSU to pursue her dreams in dance and film. Her experience in choreographing group and solo performances makes her the ideal instructor for our Junior Company, as well as for combos 1-4. This season Xan will add Acro dance and Nutcracker co-choreographer to her list of creative responsibilities to the studio. Xan comes highly recommended from Showstars as well as the MTSU Dance Department and we are proud to welcome her to Cannon Arts Dance.
