Situated in a cozy, converted elementary school, my studio offers a welcoming, non-intimidating environment that breaks away from conventional dance studio norms.

Specializing in wedding dances, social dance, and dance for the sheer joy of it, my mission is to make the art of dance accessible and delightful for all. Whether you're at the beginning of your dance journey or marking a significant life event, my tailored approach allows your unique dance potential to flourish.

Dance Styles I Teach

Frequently Asked Questions

Recorded dance lessons offer a pattern to follow but lack personalized feedback and real-time adjustments. Unlike a recording, learning to dance in person provides instant feedback and can help you and your partner find harmony on the dance floor.

If your partner is on the fence, assure them that the dance studio provides a one-on-one, judgment-free environment. In addition, my teaching approach emphasizes having a good time while acquiring new skills. Don't just take my word for it—check out Danielle and Zack's testimonial to see how their initial hesitancy transformed into a truly enjoyable experience.

Leading and following are based on specific skills and rules. With focused dance lessons, you'll learn this communication style, which can open up a new way of interacting with your partner.

Your song choice often dictates your dance style. The 4-lesson package offers flexibility; you can either learn the basic steps of the dance style that complements your chosen song, or opt for my unique Wedding Dance in a Flash program.

The time it takes to learn will vary for each couple. However, I recommend starting at least 4 weeks in advance for Wedding Dance in a Flash, 6-8 weeks for Basic Lessons for Your Song, and 4 months for the Showstopper package.

Comfort is key! Wear clothes that allow you to move freely, along with shoes that stay on your feet and are easy to pivot in. I want you to focus on dancing, not on adjusting your outfit. For wedding dance lessons, bring the shoes you’ll be dancing in, if available.

I specialize in working with beginners, offering a judgment-free environment where you'll feel comfortable making mistakes and learning to dance at your own pace. If you have no dance experience, I use creative techniques which make the learning process enjoyable and effective.

Absolutely! Not only is dance an enjoyable form of exercise, but it also helps improve balance, coordination, and mental acuity. Plus, it's a great way to meet new people and boost your confidence on and off the dance floor.
