Susan Stoll
Choreographer For Mark & Beth
What a pleasure it is to participate in the Dancing With The Y Stars again! I relocated to the Cadillac area twenty-eight years ago and I love it here. I taught at Pine River Area Schools for over twenty years at several different grade levels. After retiring from teaching, I joined the Cadillac area YMCA staff. Before moving north, I loved taking dance lessons of all genres. Later I taught ballet, gymnastics, Hawaiian dance, and ballroom dancing at the same downstate studio. Upon moving to my current home in Tustin, I taught ballet and gymnastics as an after-school program here in beautiful northern Michigan. I am truly excited and honored to be involved with Dancing With The Y Stars again!

Dance has been an important part of her life since the age of three when she started taking Tap, Jazz, and Ballet lessons and continued for many years. She competed on a dance team called “The Thunderbirds” and then continued her dance training at Hope College. After moving to Cadillac, she taught ballet/hip hop for a few years but now has turned her time to helping with this event.

music; she was immersed with art, drama, band, choir, and dance classes for a large portion of her early years. She currently works as an Area Manager for NEMCSA Head Start during the day. Through her evening work as an instructor at the Landing Dance Academy, where both of her daughters, Bettie and Nola, dance, she is able to continue her love of dance and music. Aspen is thrilled to see what this year has in store for her second year of choreography for the YMCA Dancing with the Stars event.

Bridget is a graduate of CHS and studied dance at Western Michigan University. She returned to her hometown, along with her husband David, 16 years ago to raise her two children, bake cupcakes, and eventually teach dance at the Landing Dance Academy. In her spare time, you can

Isabel Borgstrom
Choreographer For Brent & Johanna
Dancing has always been a wonderful part of Isabel’s life. As a young girl in Colombia she spent many hours rehearsing dance numbers and soaking up the culture and movements, which now, she incorporates into her dance routines. Her Latin roots have been seen in several local performances but also with local band musicians. She believes being a former educator gives her the edge needed to win this competition. Her husband and son are her greatest treasures. Being able to participate in Dancing with the Y over the past years has been such a great and humbling experience. Each dance couple she helps poses new opportunities to stretch her as a choreographer, and this year will be just as great!

working at New Image Salon. Her return to choreographing has made her love for dance deeper than ever and become a great source of inspiration.
