Kary McCleary-Ottinger

Director/Owner

Miss Kary began her dance journey in 1976 at the age of two under the guidance of her mother, Lynda Kaye McCleary, founder of Rimview Dance Studio.  Growing up immersed in the art of dance, Kary's passion quickly evolved into a lifelong commitment to teaching, inspiring, and shaping dancers of all ages.

In 2004, Kary expanded her mother's legacy by opening a second Rimview Dance Studio location in the Billings Heights, broadening access to quality dance education in the community.  With a teaching career that began in 1993, she has instructed studio classes, college-level courses, and online training programs, bringing her knowledge and enthusiasm to every platform.  She holds a background in business management with a minor in dance/theater.

She has also choreographed for the Mrs. Montana Pageants and numbers local theater productions, bringing her creative vision beyond the studio.  She is dedicated to fostering confidence, creativity, and technical excellence in her students, all while honoring the legacy and values her mother instilled in the studio from the very beginning.
