About Hybrid Motion
Our Mission
At Hybrid Motion, we believe that gymnastics, dance and fitness are more than just physical activities or sports. They offer a chance to develop strength, a strong mind-body connection, coordination, confidence, creativity, and teamwork skills. Our experienced coaches and instructors are passionate about helping children build these skills in a positive and uplifting environment.

The Owner and Dance Director
I move, therefore I am.
I couldn't imagine life without creative movement. No matter what form that movement takes... dance, gymnastics, cross-fit, Skiing, team sports, yoga... it is all an expression. As a mother of four, I've learned how important that movement is to our children and how we need to foster it in them (and in ourselves) to optimize a healthy balance in our lives.
With a lifetime of dance experience; everything from ballet, modern, contemporary, drill team and a preforming arts company, as well as years of teaching dance to kids, I'm excited to have this opportunity to build a dance program for boys and girls of all ages and skill levels. Hybrid Motion Dance is about connecting kids with music and movement and our programming is designed to keep kids engaged, always learning more and progressing on their dance journey.
I am so grateful to have the opportunity and the support of my husband and my family to bring to Gallatin County, an environment where kids can grow and thrive and families can feel supported and balanced. The mental and physical well-being of the kids in our care is paramount and that is evident through our programming and staffing. I want to build the kind of place where every kid leaves asking when they get to come back!

Carolyne Burdick, Head Gymnastics Coach
Meet Carolyne Burdick, a passionate gymnast turned coach, whose heart beats for the thrill of gymnastics. Graduating with degrees in Psychology and Kinesiology from Montana State University, her love for the sport has only deepened over the years.
Carolyne's journey in gymnastics began as a young athlete, twirling through the air with determination and grace. As a coach since the age of 16, she now finds fulfillment in helping others experience the same joy and confidence that gymnastics brought into her life.
For Carolyne, coaching is more than just teaching routines; it's about nurturing growth and self-assurance in her students. Drawing on her studies in Psychology, she understands the importance of mental resilience and encourages her gymnasts to believe in themselves both on and off the mat.
But her dedication doesn't end with the athletes alone. Carolyne takes delight in working with families, recognizing that a strong support system at home is essential for a child's progress. By building a close-knit gymnastics community, she aims to create an environment where both gymnasts and their families can thrive together.
Through Hybrid Motion, Carolyne's mission is to ignite a love for gymnastics in her students and witness them achieve new heights. Seeing the spark of accomplishment in their eyes as they conquer challenges fuels her passion and drives her to improve the lives of everyone she encounters through the sport she cherishes.

I have been dancing since I was just three years old and have tried just about every style out there. I am currently a student at Gallatin high school and on the dance team.
I have always loved kids and dance and helping people find their love for dance as well.
I believe dancing is about more than technique, it’s about having fun and being excited to try new things.

My name is Doug Oldham (Coach Doug), and I am excited to be a new coach at Hybrid Motion. I have been coaching preschool, recreational, and competitive gymnastics for 24 years, including developmental levels 1-10 and Excel levels, Bronze through Platinum. I am originally from Montana, but have had the opportunity to coach in Alaska, Washington, and Oregon. This has given me the chance to collaborate with coaches from across the nation, including many at the Olympic level. During my time in Oregon, I developed and coached a successful Ninja program for both boys and girls. I do my best to meet the diverse needs of all students, while capturing the motivation needed to reach their individual goals. I have the ability to maintain a fun and well-disciplined class where each student feels special, cared for and successful.
I have been married for 27 years to my wife Monika, who is a teacher at Saddle Peak Elementary. We are incredibly happy to be back in Montana and I am looking forward to working with you and your athletes.

Hi! I’m Chloe. I am currently a student at MSU studying Exercise Science. I grew up in a small mountain town in Colorado called Durango. I’ve spent my fair share of time out in the mountains hiking, peak bagging, backpacking, climbing, and skiing. I have a competitive skiing and coaching background, which really helped kickstart my love for fitness and the gym. Eventually, I found myself in Crossfit gyms daily, and have loved the world of functional fitness training since. Having a good foundation for a healthy and athletic lifestyle is important, and therefore I am very excited to work at Hybrid Motion and help kids learn about all sorts of activities and introduce fitness as a fun, enjoyable experience.
