Ms. Riley Coughlin

INSTRUCTOR

Hi! My name is Riley Coughlin, and I am currently an incoming sophomore on the MSU Elite Competitive Dance Team! In the past, I was a 4-year member of the Utica High School Varsity Dance Team, where we attended UDA regionals and nationals every year, competing in pom and jazz. I also danced competitively at Rhythm Pointe Dance Academy my whole life, teaching and choreographing both recreational and competitive classes there for the past 3 seasons. My favorite styles to teach are contemporary/ lyrical, jazz, hip hop, and technique. Additionally, I was a member of the United Shore USPBL Dance Crew for 5 years. Finally, I have attended many conventions, such as Titans of Dance, where I received the Shield of Excellence Scholarship in 2024. I am so grateful for this opportunity to work with such amazing dancers and can’t wait to get started!
