My Story
PERSONALIZED. COMPREHENSIVE. FUN.
As an exercise physiologist, yoga therapist, and lifelong dancer, I look at dance differently than most instructors. For over two decades, I’ve combined classical and contemporary dance training with a deep understanding of body mechanics. This means you don't just learn steps—you learn how to move naturally, comfortably, and pain-free, no matter your starting point.
Whether you’re preparing for your first wedding dance, stepping onto a social floor for the first time, or refining advanced techniques, I adapt every lesson to your personal learning style. My goal is simple: to create a relaxed, encouraging space where you feel confident, supported, and excited to dance.
Dancing brought joy, balance, and connection into my life, and helping you discover that same confidence is what I love most. Let’s get you moving with ease—reach out today to get started!

CAN I REALLY LEARN HOW TO DANCE?
Of course! I have taught many people of all ages how to dance. Everyone has a unique learning style, and it’s my duty to find out what that is and adapt my lessons accordingly. My goal is for you to have a good time while learning.
DO I NEED A PARTNER TO TAKE LESSONS?
Not at all! In group classes, partners rotate frequently so that you meet new people and practice with different partners whether you are leading or following. In private lessons, I will be your partner.
WHAT DO I WEAR TO CLASS?
Whatever you are comfortable in! Common attire you will see at the studio: skirts, slacks, jeans, t-shirts, polo shirts, dresses, and workout clothes. It is best to avoid flip flops and shoes with sticky rubber soles.
CAN YOU HELP WITH MY WEDDING DANCE?
Absolutely! I love working with wedding couples and bridal parties to create a special dance that will be unforgettable. No matter what your dancing experience is, you will be having fun and make lasting memories.
