With a love for dance and movement that goes back to my childhood, I've been dancing and teaching for over 25 years. I believe everyone with a desire can enjoy the sport of dance at some level. Social dancing as a hobby is available to people of all skill levels. Competitions are also open to everyone from newcomers through open level professionals. In addition, I love to train dancers who desire
to explore the performance aspect of this sport. Whether it be in solo performances or in showcase settings with multiple dances, all skill levels can inspire audiences through the art of dance. Over the years I've developed a teaching style and program which has helped my students learn dance steps and technique, while also being able to remember what they've learned months, even years down the road. This is very important to me, and the best part is they are able to accomplish this while having a lot of fun at the same time. Benefits of dance can include:
Cardio workout - Increased strength - tone - balance - enhanced relationship skills - sense of well-being and improved self-confidence - deeper appreciation of the arts - mind/body coordination - improved memory
For the general public the following formats are available:
Private, Semi-private, and Group lessons
Newcomers, Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced Levels
Singles - Couples - LGBTQ - All are welcome - ages 6 and up

My clientele also includes those who prefer to learn in the privacy of their own homes. Client must provide a suitably sized room and preferably a large wooden (or solid surface) floor on which to learn. If this interests you, contact me for more information about this exclusive program. (May involve additional travel fees.) Begin working on your First Dance as early as possible. One year to six months is not too soon. Most couples require a minimum of 6 lessons to perform a simple (1 min 30 sec) dance routine with confidence. The more you practice, the better your dance will be. Pick out your "special song" and I will create customized choreography just for you. NOTE: My Dance Heaven continues to follow government guidelines regarding the pandemic as new information is introduced and mandates evolve.
*Current social distancing/masking requirements will be followed.
*Class size and close contact may be limited when appropriate, per pandemic status updates. Until we dance again!
