Muddy Wolf Creative Dance

WAITSBURG - Ashley Hamilton wanted to give the kids in our three small communities something safe, fun, and active to do. She believes active children are happy children, so she used her cheer and dance experience to start Muddy Wolf Creative Dance in June 2024.

Hamilton got her business license, insurance, and a youth fitness certification to make her dream a reality. She chose Muddy Wolf to honor her Native American heritage and family memories in the Blue Mountains. She added "creative" as her dancers will help create each routine so they know they can create beautiful things.

The young dancers practice at the Prescott Lions Club Hall on Thursdays and Fridays from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. Hamilton said Lions Club members always ensure the hall is ready and have been truly wonderful.

The group's first performance was at halftime of the Waitsburg-Dayton football game on Friday, September 27. They will dance a Halloween routine at the Waitsburg Town Hall during the Halloween Curiosity Craft Bazaar on October 19. Hamilton plans to choreograph a Christmas performance and participate in the holiday parades. She would like to coordinate with Waitsburg Parks & Rec on events throughout the year.

Hamilton welcomes any third through eighth-grade students to join Muddy Wolf Creative Dance. If the wolf is calling, contact Hamilton at tucker.wayne10@gmail.com.

"I am very happy to be able to provide this service to our communities and cannot wait to make more lasting memories with our families," she added.
