My career began at the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Kalamazoo. I taught ballroom dancing there for four years until the studio closed. Five months later I opened my own studio and have taught and operated it for 33 years.
Music has always been a huge part of my life. Before I started teaching ballroom dance, I had a lot of choreographed dance experience in the form of musical theatre productions.
After teaching at Fred Astaire and Arthur Murray for four years in Chicago, I am now eager to expand myself in Kalamazoo. From private wedding lessons to large group lessons, my high energy brings out the best in my students.
