Your Instructor
If you enjoy learning, crafting, dancing, music, books, travel, and building friendships... then I want to meet you!
Originally from Nashville, TN, I have been a student of dance since 1996, performing with bands, at conventions, in festivals and music videos. I have studied a variety of styles and consider myself a fusion artist. Through weaving my love of GC Style, Flamenco, Romani, Persian, Egyptian, and various Latin dances, I strive to inspire students to explore the creativity within themselves and to build the confidence to share it.
In addition, I own an Etsy shop selling LeoToes dance footies. I travel the country selling my footies at festivals and I travel regularly throughout Central Florida to study with local teachers. There are so many styles and teachers of dance to experience. I can teach you the basics but the rest is up to you. I believe that through dance women can learn to accept and love themselves no matter their size, shape, or age. Come learn to love yourself with me.
New dancers, non dancers, bad dancers, shy dancers, geeky dancers... All are welcome!
