Meet the Founder
Frank Goodin
I am a devoted husband, father, son, and brother, proudly hailing from Monroe, Louisiana. My educational journey began at West Monroe High School and continued at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, where I laid the foundation for my career in education and athletics. Currently, I serve as the Athletic Director and Head Football Coach at Ouachita Jr. High School, where I strive to inspire young athletes both on and off the field.
My spiritual gifts of teaching, exhorting, and serving others guide my interactions and relationships with those around me. I find joy in cooking and hosting events, always aiming to put smiles on the faces of friends and family. A firm believer in the power of faith, my favorite scripture is Romans 8:28, reminding me that all things work together for good.
I live by the quote, “Any opportunity to learn is a gift, even if pain is your teacher,” which resonates deeply with my life experiences. Above all, I proudly declare that I am P.O.P—Product of Prayer.
Meet the Founder
Carolyn Goodin
Carolyn Kentrell McClinton Goodin is a powerhouse entrepreneur, creative director, producer, and CEO. Her artistic nature was nurtured early on in her life when she was enrolled in dance class at the age of three years old. Her talent developed gracefully under the instruction of her aunt, Seleta McClinton and through Grambling State University, guided by Diane Maroney-Grigsby and Terry Lilly. She matriculated through college as a member of the Orchesis Dance Company and GSU Cheerleaders.
In the pursuit of her passion, she became the founder and operator of Carolyn’s Dance Land of Monroe, La in 2011, & second location in DeSoto, Tx in 2022. Upon Carolyn's Dance Land opening, her studios quickly became the premier dance school in her native town of Monroe, Louisiana and surrounding areas. Carolyn has worked tirelessly to accomplish her goal to create a thriving organization that cultivates an environment that represents the power of arts education. Carolyn's Dance Land has since put on 46 sold out productions and trained hundreds of students. This award-winning crew boasts several championship titles spanning the USA from Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Texas all the way to California. Students have been afforded multiple opportunities to gain nationwide exposure including coaching from the Alvin Ailey School of Dance in New York.
With over 20 plus years of experience under her belt, Carolyn has traveled all over the United States as a creative director for dance competitions and performances. Most notably, she produced an unforgettable piece that was featured on Lifetime television network for the hit show “Bring It”, earning first place to defeat the Dancing Dolls of Jackson, Mississippi and other great teams. She brought her best dancers to carry out her choreography at a 2019 Super Bowl gala in Atlanta, Georgia as atribute to music mogul Jermaine Dupri. Her artistry was on display at Essence festival events and during halftime performances for the New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Pelicans, on three different occasions.
She is a wonderful wife to Frank Goodin and mother to their fabulous five children, Carter, Connor, Case, Cold and Crown Goodin. Carolyn recently opened a new chapter of her career by launching a new streaming network. She has always had vision to create opportunities for anyone willing to leap like she does. Her long-term goal is to be a renowned creative director and producer for entertainment industry titans globally. While she seeks this elevation, she will continue to give of her talents locally and nationally. Her own visions will be carried on in greatness through everyone she meets and holds in the hearts of each person who comes to be a witness.
