directors & coachesDirector, Pam Drewry
My dance career began in my early twenties, when my younger sister persuaded me to join her in jazz, tap, ballet and hula. I have assisted in teaching at Annette's School of Dance, and choreographed for the Miami County Junior Miss program for several years. I have judged the Tipp Mum pageant twice, and also some local dance team try-outs. My biggest claim to fame is being the only original member of the adult jazz class at Dance Expressions Studio. I am looking forward to my 13th year in jazz and tap with a wonderful group of ladies. I graduated from Tippecanoe HS in 1974, and
have been married to Pat since 1976. I hold a Financial Management
degree from Sinclair and worked at Key bank for 11 years before
deciding to become a stay-at-home mom. We have
two wonderful
children: Erica, who graduated from Butler in 2002 and OSU in 2008.
She danced with the Ohio State dance team for four years and is
currently completing her dietetic internship in Charleston, SC. She
married Nick in February, and lives in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Tony graduated from Butler in 2006, and will be a senior at Miami
I was honored and deeply touched to learn this past season that my team had nominated me as Director of the Year. There is no greater reward than being recognized and appreciated by these special young ladies. My years with the Kickline have been filled with many good memories. In addition to the reward that comes from knowing so many talented, special young ladies and their families, is the pride of being a part of such an esteemed and successful program. I can't wait to see what this season holds for THE Butler Kickline!

I
am Pam Drewry and am beginning my tenth year as Butler Kickline
Director. I came into this distinguished position by way of my good
friend, Lori Downey. Lori encouraged me to take over the reins so
she could concentrate on being Coach/Choreographer for the team, in
addition to attending to her growing studio and family.

Downey has been with the Butler Kickline since 1993. She served as
the Director/Coach/Choreographer until 2000. Lori was awarded
Director of the Year at the 2000 State/National Championships.
Once Pam Drewry came on board, Lori began to serve solely as the
Coach/Choreographer. The team has held several State and National
titles, leadership awards and earned numerous medals in the last 15
years.
