About Us

Lexie Daggett, owner and operator of Raise the Barre, began dancing at the age of two here in Lake Ozark. She trained in ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip-hop, and tap. She's competed in various  competitions around the Midwest and has won numerous awards and scholarships starting at the age of five. Lexie started teaching at the age of 16. When she was 18, she moved to Fayetteville, AR, where she was fortunate enough to work with the young women at the Williams Center Rhythm Factory. She has been extremely fortunate to work with renowned choreographers throughout her dance career and she can’t wait to offer this same opportunity to the dancers here at the Lake. Lexie has found a passion for teaching dancers, but she believes it goes far past the moves. Lexie focuses on empowering dancers and hopes that every person that walks into her studio leaves feeling uplifted and cared for. She can’t wait to share her passion for dance with those around her. Anyone who knows her, knows she eats, sleeps, and breathes the world of dance.

Madeline Amsinger began dance at the age of two. She did everything from tap, jazz, ballet, contemporary, chorus line tap, and tumbling. She also competed for a few years in group numbers as well as a few solos. She had taught from ages three to ten years of age in tap, ballet, and jazz. She grew up here in Lake Ozark, Missouri where she attended and graduated from School of the Osage. Now she has graduated from Truman State University with her Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art with a concentration in painting. Currently she is finishing up her Master’s of Art in Education in Elementary Education with Truman State University. By doing so she will be doing her student teaching here at Osage. Her favorite style of dance is tap! She is very excited to jump back into dance again after a few years off and share her passion.

Tawny Daggett is the mother of Lexie. She is joining RTB as our receptionist and the founder of the dance boutique inside RTB. She is the ultimate dance mom, given she has been doing it for 26 years! You can catch her watching Hallmark movies or hanging out with her fellow hunting wives in her free time. Tawny can answer any and every question you might have for us here at RTB. We are so excited to see her smiling face every week!
