Brenda Jean Russell is a wellness coach, movement educator, and dance instructor.

With multiple certifications in Franklin Method, Qi Gong, and dance education Brenda has a diversity of experience to work from.

Brenda is fulfilling her childhood dream as a professional dancer and instructor. Brenda’s early dance training included about 30 dance styles. She has also studied musical history and theory, dance history, dance instruction, several physical health methods, and other related subjects adding to her knowledge of the body, dance, music, and teaching. Brenda continues to study and train with coaches, historians, and practitioners, always striving to increase her understanding and ability. Brenda has put the majority of her focus over the past many years into the Lindy Hop, Balboa, Blues, West Coast Swing, and Salsa communities. She believes we are all born with dance in our bodies, and that each of us can use this activity as a means for personal expression, connecting with others, and exercise. Brenda loves the image of being able to dance anytime, anywhere, to any music, alone, or with anyone. She spends her time living this dream for herself while assisting her students in accomplishing their personal dance goals.”

Brenda is an extremely knowledgable teacher. She is patient and is able to explain/demonstrate things in multiple ways. I am a beginner and started dance later in life, and she has always been encouraging. No matter how much I learn about a particular dance form, she always has a next level of skill to teach.
