About Creative Caterpillar

Creative Caterpillar is made up of Co-Founders, Miss Andrea and Mister Mike, as well as a very few carefully selected and trained individuals who have clearly demonstrated that they have the skill and the personality to be the perfect fit to assist our company Mission. We take our decisions to bring people on board very seriously, so for a person to be offered a position with our company, we are adopting them as a part of the Creative Caterpillar Family.

We know that the families that we serve have come to expect this kind of care. We are proud of the way we can be assured that all members of the Creative Caterpillar Family of professionals can rise to the challenge of engaging the hearts, minds, and bodies of our participants in the journey of finding their most creative and expressive selves.

Miss Andrea

Founder & Operations Director

Dancercise Kids® Instructor

Miss Andrea was involved in formal dance training from preschool onward. She was a member of Menomonee Falls’ Accompany Of Kids throughout high school and went on to receive her BFA in Musical Theatre from Emerson College in Boston, MA. After college she moved to the Twin Cities in Minnesota where she was a regular performer with Minneapolis Musical Theatre, The Plymouth Playhouse and others.

For several years during her time in the Twin Cities, Miss Andrea taught for Minnesota’s Dancercise Kids®. Through this experience, working as choreographer for multiple children’s productions, and teaching her own personally created kids dance classes at the local YMCA, Miss Andrea grew her passion for engaging the hearts and minds of young people in a love of the expressive arts. She is thrilled to have launched Creative Caterpillar LLC in Milwaukee featuring the Dancercise Kids® curriculum because she has found it such a universally effective way to excite very young children’s interest in discovering the joy of creativity and expression. She enjoys spending time with her beautiful daughters and her husband and Co-Founder, Mister Mike.

Miss Miranda

Dancercise Kids® Instructor

Ms. Miranda is a graduate of UW Milwaukee, where she earned her BFA in Dance. She has danced all her life, and has been sharing her love of dance as a teacher with Nancy Dianne Studio of Dance for several years. She started as a student there herself at the age of three!

When she’s not teaching, Ms. Miranda loves taking her dog, Molly, to the dog park. She is a big fan of getting further outdoors for a good long hike with Molly and her boyfriend, Jake. Ms. Miranda is a very avid reader as well. She especially loves the Harry Potter series of books.

Mister Mike

Co-Founder & Business Director

Mister Mike is a Milwaukee native who was raised on the stage. He started performing thanks to his parents in third grade. He went on to participate in theater and visual arts throughout high school, and was educated at the post-secondary level through the University of Minnesota/Guthrie Theater BFA Actor Training Program’s Inaugural Class of 2004. There he received a comprehensive Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Acting, with a focus on Classical Text. He dreams of a generation of young people who love and celebrate the word-craft of Shakespeare, Aeschylus, Homer, and Sophocles.

Mister Mike is thrilled to have been a part of the founding of Creative Caterpillar LLC in Milwaukee, and looks forward to a beautiful future of engaging the youngest Milwaukeeans in creative expression. It is by engaging the youngest among us that we gain citizens devoted to the value of creative expression in their adult life, and all citizens benefit from more skillful expression.
