Atlas Tipton is a creative and unique artist with a genuine heart and a deep love for dance. As a homeschooled student, she has developed a passion for creating and exploring new perspectives. From the moment she could walk, Atlas was always wiggling and moving, which led her to her first dance class at just 2 years old. She found her true-dance-home at Studio of MoveMINT during the summer princess camps at the age of 4. Atlas began her journey at the studio as a quiet and shy child, but over the years, the studio has helped her blossom with confidence and grace, growing into a competitive dancer and creative spirit - joining MoveMINT Dance Company in 2022. 

Atlas is known for her silly nature, creativity, loyalty, and strong work ethic, she is always eager to lend a helping hand. She fell in love with working with the younger dancers backstage during recitals, affectionately calling them "the babies," which led her to ask to assist with the studio’s summer camps and now as a teacher’s assistant. She now enjoys sharing her love for dance, by helping these littler dancers grow and find their confidence, just like she has!
