Staff
Marla Bradley,
Owner, Business
Manager, Artistic
Director
Marla is business manager and oversees all locations
and staff at Inclusion Athletics (Inclusion Dance, and
Inclusion Fitness).
Marla coached the Forest Park High School and
Middle School Dance Teams for 8 years. During that
time, the Dance Teams went to many competitions
and won many awards. Marla focuses on students’
abilities and the way each dancer fits into the team as
a whole. Each student’s special ability is emphasized
to show that every person has different strengths.
Marla believes it is very important that a team should
work together to help one another strive to make
each other better, not only as an athlete, but as a
person. Being on a team teaches children much more
than just the sport; it can also teach them to work
hard, be punctual, work well with others, and to
support their teammates.
These are the characteristics that will be found at
Inclusion Athletics. Marla wants to see everyone
included! Fairness isn’t giving everyone the same
thing. Fairness is giving everyone what they need
to succeed. Not everyone will be treated the same
because not everyone is the same. Treating
everyone fairly and including them is important at
Inclusion Dance.
2022-2023 is Marla’s Sixth season owning and
managing Inclusion Athletics.
