Ms. Carol grew up in St. Louis and began dancing at age 3. She was a member of Muny Teens in 1969 and in 1971 held 3rd place as Ms. Dance of St. Louis. She found her passion for teaching and in 1974 began teaching in the St. Louis area. In 1988 Ms. Carol opened her own studio, and in 1996 the studio became Carol Bowman Academy of Dance. Ms. Carol built her studio on the belief that everyone should be able to find joy in dancing.
Ms. Jennifer graduated from Carol Bowman Academy of Dance in 1997, and went on to pursue a degree in Business Administration & Dance at Webster University. While at college, Ms. Jennifer began to teach at Carol Bowman's. She got to both take classes and teach with her sister Angela for a time. Ms. Jennifer has now been teaching for about 20 years, and has five children, three of whom take dance. She specializes in ballet and pointe, and organizes the winter performances of "The Nutcracker” every year.

As Ms. Carol's daughter, Ms. Madeline grew up in the studio even more than most long-time alums. She has had the privilege of being taught by most of the instructors, and is now teaching alongside them. Madeline graduated from the studio in 2012 and attended Lindenwood University, later to graduate with a BFA in Dance. She can now be found either at the studio teaching most disciplines of dance, or at the stable following her other passion with horses.

She recently graduated from University of South Florida with her Master's, and has returned to St. Louis. She now splits her time facilitating the "Choosing Myself" program for underserved and at-risk girls, teaching tap and jazz, and spending time with her service dog, Hero.
