Meet Shay Suzanne Lewis — The Heart Behind the Studio
What truly sets Premiere apart from other Citrus Heights dance studios is the heart and soul behind it.
Shay Suzanne, the studio’s owner and director, brings a unique blend of passion, experience, and purpose to her work. With a background in early childhood education, theater, and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in the autism field, Shay has created a space where kids of all abilities can thrive.
As a single, queer mom, she deeply understands the challenges many families face — which is why she prioritizes inclusive practices and accessible pricing, making dance more approachable for all.

Premiere isn’t just a studio — it’s a movement led by three inspiring women:
- Piper Todd – Creative Director and choreography powerhouse
- Traci Shoffner – Costumes, props, and magic-maker behind the scenes

Together, this trio pours their love and energy into every detail — from designing stage-worthy costumes to cheering dancers on every step of the way.
