Michelle Guthrie-Loftis has lived in St. Augustine going on 16 years, which is longer than she lived in both Virgina, where she was born, and the Outer Banks, where she graduated high school. Having always been the planner of her friend groups, hosting or organizing events, it wasn’t ironic that she fell into wedding planning right after graduating from Flagler College in 2014. In addition to growing up playing instruments and listening to all genres of music, Michelle often relates to or speaks through lyrics and has recently begun teaching herself how to DJ. She goes to concerts whenever she can and considers music her true passion. However, dancing is the one thing she has never tried. By participating in Dancing Stars of SJC, Michelle is hoping to step out of her comfort zone, learn something new, and continue connecting music to her life, all while giving back to the community she cares so deeply about!
