Founder and Director of the Lil' and Elite Wranglers®, with locations in College Station, Dallas, and Houston. Both of Sharon's children, Seth and Sarah, were instrumental in helping Sharon, a former Aggie Wrangler, start and now continue the Lil' Wranglers® program founded in 1999. Sharon's goal is to spread the goodwill of Aggieland while instilling confidence and life skills through her country and western swing youth program. Seth, Aggie Class of 2014, was also part of the Aggie Wranglers dance team on campus where he became the first Aggie Wrangler Legacy ever. Sharon was honored to have her program selected to represent the State of Texas in the Inaugural Parade for the President of the United States and perform for the Texas State Society Black Tie and Boots Inaugural Ball in 2017. The Wranglers were special guest that week of both Texas Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn. Sharon serves as the Technical Safety Consultant for the Aggie Wranglers at Texas A&M since 2007. She serves the community in many ways through volunteering with her Lil' Wranglers® at community service events, such as many Texas A&M Sporting events, Basketball halftime shows both College and NBA, featured performers for Santa's Wonderland, and she serves as the Director of Youth Entertainment for the Spirit of Texas Festival. She was the choreographer for the Midland video for "Burn Out.'
Thanks and Gig 'em
Howdy!
I am honored to be the Regional Director of the DFW Lil’ Wranglers. I remember when Sharon asked me to help her with the first ever Elite Wranglers when I was dancing for Texas A&M as an Aggie Wrangler. I thought to myself, this lady has my dream job. Now, twelve years later, I am on year four of building my own branch of Lil’ Wranglers within the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
At home I am a mom of three beautiful girls that keep me on my toes constantly. Halli, our big girl is 4 this year and loves animal facts and all things Disney. The twins Charli and Claire are two and love to be outside exploring and eating snacks. I am a wife to my High school best friend, who even though he earned his degree from Oklahoma State, I married him anyways. I could not have asked for a more supportive husband that encourages me to chase this dream of mine and teach country western dance to kids! We love to get out as a family and go to the zoo, visit different parks and we love to travel whenever possible.
My love of kids and dance has opened up this door to direct the DFW Lil’ Wranglers. I Thank God daily that this program found me and is allowing me to impact our youth. I take pride that our program is more than a bunch of talented kids going on stage and regurgitating a routine that I taught them. Instead it is a yearlong commitment that encourages team work, dedication, hard work, individual effort, patience with your partner, compromise, and communication. I remind these kids that their talents bring JOY to those who watch them, and it should bring them joy as they conquer the challenges we give them throughout the year. I love what I do, and I just want to say thank you. Thank you, Sharon, for providing me with this opportunity and supporting me the entire way. Thank you to the parents who trust their kids with me year after year and make this program a thriving family-based program. Thank you to my students, you show up weekly making my job meaningful and fulfilling. You impress me and remind me that hard work and perseverance are essential to success. Together we are the Lil’ Wranglers.
Thank you
Thomas is a seasoned and very experienced country and wetern dancer. He grew up in the Lil' Wrangler program starting at age 6. He went on to be on every team from LIl' Wranglesr to Elite Wranglers and then ultimately, he truly shined as an Aggie Wrangler for Texas A&M University. He started teaching in the program while in college and has assisted in all three locations. He was a featured dancer in the Randy Rogers music video for "I'll Never Get Over You." We are thrilled to have Thomas at leading the North Houston program.
