Since I was very young I have been performing in the arts and I knew that I wanted to pursue this career for the long run. As a dance teacher I have the opportunity to combine my love of music and dance for each one of my students teaching rhythm, partnership, expression and technique. It gives me such fulfillment seeing my students progress and improve every day. It gives me great joy to bring my students joy.

    100% Recommend Amy for dance lessons - regardless of dance level. I decided only three weeks before my wedding to get dance lessons for my fiancé (now wife) and I. We found Amy through an online search and feel incredibly lucky for finding her.
    We had zero background in dancing and no idea what type of dance we wanted, just the songs. Amy was amazing in helping us pick the dance styles that fit what we wanted, coaching us through two dances (to two very different songs ... back to back), and getting us ready to perform in only 3 weeks!
    The biggest thing we loved about working with Amy was her ability to make us feel comfortable and relaxed - not something either of us felt going into the first sessions. Without her personable and humorous nature, we never would’ve been able to make our first dance as special as it was.
    Our guests still talk about how amazed they were at the dance. Can’t thank her enough!
    Again, I highly recommend Amy for anyone, regardless of dance level.

    We had an incredible experience with Amy. She taught us so any new things in a fun and great way and we are so happy we found her. You will not be disappointed and she will prepare you well for any dance you choose! Fingers crossed this COVID situation ends soon and those studios can get packed up again!

    Frequently asked questions

    If you are just getting started, don't feel nervous! You are in the right place to learn how to dance, gain confidence and have fun! Before starting lessons, I would like to meet with you for an initial 45 minute session which includes a dance lesson and dance evaluation. If you are getting ready for a wedding and already have something specific in mind, I can outline how long you'll need to realize your vision. If you are throwing your hands up in the air in confusion, I can help with suggestions and recommendations to make the process easier. Whatever your dance goals may be, I will direct you in the right direction and create a game plan for you.
