Adana Harris | Owner & Director
Being over active as a child, Adana's mother placed her in dance and gymnastics at the age of five. No one knew how much she would love it, or that these activities which were meant to keep her busy would ultimately become the center of her life. Adana has been involved in competitive gymnastics since the age of 9. She has competed and won in gymnastics meets all over the Northwest and was 1984 All-Around State Champion. Adana was a member of the Lewis and Clark high school gymnastics team for four years, and assistant instructor at Eastern Washington University (EWU).
Throughout her gymnastics career she continued to dance and eventually put that knowledge to use. As a member of the Lewis and Clark Drill team she performed for many audiences and was fortunate to be a part of the highest-ranking team in the area. After graduation she became a part time Jazz lll performing group at EWU, in which she performed, directed and choreographed. Adana began her career with the Dance Emporium in 1991.
Over the years she has continued her education in dance and gymnastics traveling to seminars, conferences and other training opportunities. As the director of the gymnastics program, she has helped to create one of the largest and most unique programs in the area. She continues to choreograph gymnastics routines for high schools in the area and Cheerleading squads around the northwest with much success.
