About the Director
Our director brings over 25 years of experience teaching at a nonprofit dance school, shaping young dancers with passion and expertise. With a lifelong dedication to working with children, she has not only taught dance but also music lessons, helping students explore their artistic potential. She holds a Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology, further deepening her understanding of communication, movement, and child development. Teaching has been at the heart of her journey, and her commitment to empowering children through the arts continues to inspire every student who walks through our doors.
