I strongly believe everyone can dance, and should. All bodies can learn to dance and enjoy themselves. Dance should be joyful, about self-expression, and a way of learning about your body and your spirit. I believe it’s never too late to start learning something new, and your bucket list should not wait until you retire.

Classes are for teens and adults only, no experience is required (unless specified), all classes are $20 drop-in.

Workshops

I am excited to announce a full year of dance workshops! These are stand-alone workshops, but you’ll find many of them connect to and reinforce each other. Some are designed specifically for tap dancers, others for ballet, and still others will benefit you no matter what dance style you do. Deep dive, past what you can learn in a traditional group class – how to choreograph on your own, how do you train to prepare the body for dance, how to do trick steps in tap, Appalachian flatfooting and Irish hardshoe, and we’ll even make a dance film together!

These will occur on the first Sunday of the month from 10-11:30 am (except in December) Each workshop is $30. RSVP is required.

Private Lessons

Need a little more one-on-one attention? I’m available to teach private lessons for teens and adults interested in learning to do tap or ballet for the first time, or who want to improve their skills. My strengths are patience, enthusiasm, and an unusual way of approaching dance. I care about proper technique that results in fewer injuries and dancing longevity. I care about helping you grow your body awareness. I can also work through any special fitness goals you have, whether they are related to dancing or not. I can teach on-line or in-person. I’m not famous or particularly interested in becoming famous, so if that’s your goal, I’m not the right teacher for you.
