Wendy Streyle
Owner/Director/Instructor
Hello Showstoppers Families!
I am the owner/director/instructor of Showstoppers Dance Studio. I have owned Showstoppers for the last 27 years but have been a member since it opened 41 years ago. I have danced since I was 3 years old. I continued the love of dance throughout high school, Delta College and at UOP until I graduated in 1996 with a B.A. in Liberal Studies. I have been teaching at Showstoppers since I was 13 years old, and in 1998, I bought the studio and became the sole owner, director and instructor. I have been married for 28 years and have two wonderful sons. Along with myself. Eric McCoy, Kimberlee, Sydney, Lily, Alivia, Sadie and Audrey we are the instructor and/or assistants for the 2025-2026 season. I pride myself on the fact that we know each student and their family, because that is what SDS is…. Family! I hope every student that enters Showstoppers leaves with more self-confidence, passion, kindness and love of dance. Always dance with Heart & Soul and show everyone Kindness!
