Today we’d like to introduce you to Kayla Armstrong.
Kayla, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
It was my senior year in college, March of 2018 when I realize three things: 1. I have big goals 2. I hate rules and authority so working for someone for the rest of my life was a no go! and 3. Dance is my passion and I wanted to begin to put my all into it. Aspiretobe___, which is my business came in to effect from me wanting to accomplish so much I couldn’t say I aspire to be “one thing”. “Why can’t I have it all”? I realized I can, so I added that blank line to the logo for reassurance that I can accomplish anything on this land. Aspiretobe___LLC. Became a platform to encourage individuals to fight for their dreams and follow their own path. Not the one society has for us.
I had one more semester left. So, by August of 2018, I launched a heel class in Albany, Georgia for women to come to gain confidence, let go of insecurities, and simply have a great time. By the end of the semester two weeks before graduation, I put on the First Dance Showcase that Albany State University has ever had. It was so packed I cried before the show started because I realize God had opened my eyes to what my future will hold. It was a complete success.
Currently, I am living in Atlanta, Georgia Pursuing my dreams. It is my first year out so I spend most of my time perfecting my craft at ATLA Connect Dance Studios while teaching and conducting Pop-Up Classes at Rhythma Studios! “UNTAMED” Dance Classes are on the rise and I am ready to share my talent and love for dance with the world but especially with other dance lovers.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
NO, nothing great is easy to come by. However, I did realize that the hardest part of following my dreams is believing in myself every step of the way. See, many individuals at the top will tell us all the time to JUST DO IT because they know that “doing IT” is the scary part. So, my advice to everyone is to stay focus, believe in yourself, and just GO! Also, master isolation, consistency, and discipline.
We’d love to hear more about Aspiretobe___ LLC.
I am a Business Owner, Blogger, and Choreographer. I specialize in all three but I am known for my “UNTAMED” Dance Classes; providing confidence and guidance to men and women that attend my class.
I am most proud of the lives that I have and currently am inspiring to follow their dreams. “UNTAMED” is different from many dance classes because you are not just coming to dance, you are there to understand your purpose, what goals you should be accomplishing, then also to gain the confidence to not only dance but chase dreams once stepping foot outside of “UNTAMED”.
Do you recommend any apps, books or podcasts that have been helpful to you?
Four powerful men and women that help me through this journey are Beyonce, Oprah, Will Smith, and Denzel Washington
Book: “THE SECRET” was the most powerful book I ever read. It confirmed that I am in the driver seat of my success.
