Courtney Bromwich

Owner / Director

Miss Courtney began her formal dance training in Marietta, GA with Dance Stop Studios. She pursued dance in her collegiate years with Brenau University, Gainesville Ballet, Kris Cangelosi Dance Project, and Ruth Mitchell’s Georgia Dance Conservatory.

Miss Courtney discovered her true passion of teaching at the Sawnee School of Ballet in 2000. Under the direction of Director/Owner Joan Kall Stewart, Miss Courtney honed her teaching skills in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, and modern for dancers of all ages. Since her beginnings at Sawnee Ballet, Miss Courtney has been a respected dancer, choreographer, and teacher in the metro-Atlanta area for over 20 years. Her strengths in tap and jazz as well as her propensity for character pieces have earned her several choreography awards and accolades throughout the years.

In 2007, Miss Courtney was invited to join the faculty of the dance program at Kennesaw State University as a guest tap instructor. Having already graduated with a B.A. in Business Management, she decided to return to KSU to further her dance education, and subsequently obtained her B.A. in Dance.

In 2011, Miss Courtney was excited to rejoin the faculty at Sawnee Ballet after a five year hiatus. The following year, she was honored to take over as the new owner and director.

In 2017, Miss Courtney stepped into the role of Artistic Director for Sawnee Ballet Theatre, the non-profit ballet company that operates out of the studio. With the help of many volunteers, grants, and fundraising, she “Cracked a New Nutcracker” with new costumes, props, and choreography.  She continues to expand the creative aspects of this production in addition to SBT’s annual spring concerts with contemporary interpretations of childhood classics such as Peter and the Wolf, Alice in Wonderland, The Tales of Beatrix Potter, and Aladdin.

Miss Courtney is a member of the Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce, Dance Festival Advisory Board at Kennesaw State University, FoCAL Advisory Council, National Dance Education Organization (NDEO), and Dance Studio Owners (DSO).

This season, Miss Courtney is excited about the launch of Ready, Set, Dance! She can’t wait to teach the youngest of dancers as well as her Friday morning adult tappers.
