Bringing over 20 yrs of experience into each lesson.

Having a background of 27 years dancing in many styles of dance plus my passion for seeing you gain confidence through your dancing is what I am excited to offer clients. Dancing isn’t just about the dance steps itself but an opportunity to support ones mental and physical health. I have trained with many beautiful tap dancers including Eddie Strachan, Chloe Arnold, and more! I work with people who have little to no dancing experience all the way to advanced levels. Depending on your goals and needs we can figure something out. If you want to focus on your technique, create a dance, even perform, we can make it happen for you....
