Nashville Artists...

Onelight currently works out of Franklin TN, a beautiful area just south of Nashville. We look forward to growing in our new home!

With over 20 years of training in ballet, contemporary, and lyrical worship, dance has always been a way for Bri to worship God and tell meaningful stories through movement. She has performed in both classical and original works, including principal roles in Silent Night, Savior, and Summer (The Four Seasons), and has trained at Jeanne’s School of Dance, Nashville Ballet, Ballet Magnificat, and the Fellowship School of Creative Arts.

Outside the studio, she is a Pediatric Cardiac ICU nurse, wife to her husband Connor of 12 years, and mom to their four amazing kids. In every season of life, dance remains her joyful expression of worship and devotion.

Audrey grew up in Jackson, Mississippi where she trained in the Ballet Magnificat! School of the Arts. Later in high school, she had the privilege of training at the residential Mississippi School of the Arts in the Dance Department in Brookhaven, MS. Upon graduation, Audrey completed four years of training and discipleship in Ballet Magnificat’s Professional Trainee Program. She also danced with local companies Front Porch Dance and Kinetic Etchings Dance Project while in Jackson.

Arova Contemporary Ballet took Audrey to Birmingham, AL with her husband Tyler as a Company Artist in 2017 where she also danced with many other groups such as Magic City Performing Arts, Gradient Dance, and Formations Dance Company. She also expanded to roles in musical theatre productions at local theaters such as Virginia Samford Theatre.

In the summer of 2022, after performing in The World Games Opening and Closing Ceremonies with Sanspointe Dance Company, Audrey and Tyler moved to Nashville where she had the joy of performing as a guest artist with NS Dance Academy for several productions.

Their first baby was born March of 2025. Since then Audrey has enjoyed choreographing and performing at her church Covenant Presbyterian and is so happy to be a part of Onelight!

Sharon essentially grew up in a dance studio. She began her dance training at the age of four. The spark was lit early, and her love of dance ultimately led her to become a member of the Steffi Nossen Dance Company in Westchester, New York.

She then went on to the University of Michigan, where she minored in dance and was a member of the highly competitive, student-run dance company Impact Dance Theatre.

Her passion for dance and movement led her to Columbia University in New York City, where she earned a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy. After a career in occupational therapy and a long hiatus raising children, she is thrilled to be back in the dance world.

It is truly an honor to be part of Onelight Dance Company. Thank you, Elizabeth, for your spectacular choreography and your kind, warm spirit. You are truly an inspiration to all who cross your path.
