Here’s a little info about the incredible teachers working at Cripple Creek.
Nancy Aycock Rivenbark 
- Miss Nancy is the “senior” teacher on staff at Cripple Creek. She has a background in various dance styles including clogging, tap, and ballet.

Amy Coleman - 
Amy began her interest in classical ballet with Miss Nancy when she was 9 years old. Miss Nancy sparked a love for dance within Amy that has been with her a lifetime. She continued her passion for ballet, studying in the Wilmington, NC dance community with Mrs. Anne Goodrum, Mrs. Doris Levy, and with Mrs. Dorothy Nesbitt. She later went on to study at North Carolina School of the Arts. Classical ballet was always her basis for study, but she also branched out into other dance forms. Modern dance using the Limon technique became her favored style of movement. She had several teaching opportunities while ‘surviving’ in NYC as a young dancer. Several summers she came home to teach ballet either at the Wilmington Community Center, or at Miss Anne’s Wilmington School of Ballet. While pursuing a professional career in Germany in Dance Theater, Amy continued to teach movement . Her 25 year career led her to Pilates. She has returned to her home of Hampstead, NC , teaching Pilates in the surrounding areas, as well as having started her own business, In Motion Pilates. Check out her website online (www.inmotionpilatesnc.com). She is happy to have come full circle, working with Miss Nancy once again, and hoping to inspire others to love dance as Ms. Nancy once did for her.
