Holly Columbus began her dance training at the age of three, training in ballet, tap, jazz and lyrical at Broken Arrow Academy of Dance and Theatre Arts and continued her dance training there until the age of 18.  She enjoyed being a part of their Company Dance Team and attended summer intensive training courses during this time.  In 2000, she continued her dance training under the instruction of Director Mary Magaret Holt at the University of Oklahoma where she later received her Bachelor of Arts degree.

Holly is truly excited to be able to offer TURNING POINTE Dance of Tulsa to the community. She believes that dancing can enhance your academics, grace, style and your love for life!  Her passion for dance and teaching is great and to be able to pass it on to future generations is a blessing! She knows some of her students may not go on to dance in college or professionally but during the time she is blessed to be their dance teacher she hopes to instill dance knowledge and terminology, a love for the performing arts, and most important, a desire to dance with joy!
