Peyton Winter
Peyton began her dance journey at just two years old, quickly developing a deep love for the art form. She trained for five years at Dance Unlimited in Buda, TX, before continuing her education at Brooke Lowden's School of Dance in 2005. Under the mentorship of Brooke Lowden and Kristina Weinman, Peyton’s passion for dance flourished, leading her to join the studio’s competitive team.
During high school, Peyton was a proud member of the Hays Highsteppers at Jack C. Hays High School in Buda, TX, where she performed and competed for four years. In 2013, when NB Dance & Company opened its doors in New Braunfels, she was one of the original four dancers who followed Kristina Weinman to help launch the new studio, becoming part of its very first Company team.
In addition to her studio training, Peyton expanded her dance experience by attending numerous conventions and workshops, always seeking to grow her technique and versatility. After graduating in 2014, she pursued her Cosmetology license and later returned to NB Dance & Company in 2016, where she now leads the day to day operations and teaches several classes.
Her passion lies in sharing fun, sassy jazz choreography with her students, while also building a strong foundation in technique, confidence, and performance.
Currently, Peyton is pursuing a degree to become a Radiologic Technologist while continuing to share her love of dance with the next generation. She’s also a proud mom to her energetic three year old son, Ridge, who you’ll often see running around the studio, cheering on the dancers and bringing smiles to everyone’s faces.
Peyton is dedicated to creating a loud, positive, and empowering environment for her students and is excited to continue growing with the NB Dance & Company family.
