ABOUT OUR OWNERS
DEIDRE SEALE
I’m Deidre Seale (Craig), co-owner and director of Freedom. Born and raised here in Yuma, I trained here for 16 years of my life with Dancemakers studio. At the age of 20, I moved to Jackson, Ms. where I danced and trained professionally with Ballet Magnificat! Having the opportunity to tour and perform, as well as teach nationally and internationally. I moved back to Yuma to pursue the dream in my heart... where I am married to my awesome husband and have a 4 yr old and an almost 1 year old. The Lord continues to open the doors and keep his promises... and I am incredibly excited to continue to share this dream of Freedom Company with Yuma... and be apart of young dancer’s journeys. Thank you to everyone who has supported us this far and poured out encouragement into our beginning... we are forever thankful!!
DANIELLE MCLAUGHLIN
Hi! I’m Danielle McLaughlin (Craig), co-owner and Assistant Director of Freedom. I grew up dancing here in Yuma until I was 18 years old. After high school, I moved to Jackson, MS, where I also had the amazing opportunity to dance and train with Ballet Magnificat! I was there for three years, and after that, I was able to tour with the Silver Ring Thing, where I had the chance to tour the entire country speaking to youth. (Also met my husband while we were both on the tour team!) I’m also an ACE Certified personal trainer, and I’m so excited to offer personal training and group fitness classes! Come and try our barre classes offered 3 times a week! I’m so happy to be doing this alongside my sister
