Isabella Brannen was born on June 6, 2007 in Omaha, Nebraska, but grew up in Lexington, Kentucky, where she still lives today.

Her parents agreed and helped clean the studio to afford the costs of costumes, competirion fees, and classes. Brannen grew tremendously in her ability to dance and realized it was her passion. She attended multiple summer intensives and enjoys teaching at her studio. She is known for her great technique and her determination.
