"She is wonderful. I hadn’t idea how to dance and now I’m able to dance as a pro!

Dive into the world of dance with someone who's been gracefully moving to its rhythm since the young age of 4. My journey began with ballet, tap, ballroom, and jazz, and as I transitioned into my late teens, I discovered a profound love for ballroom dance, swiftly leading to my role as an instructor. Beyond the studio, I've showcased my talent on the popular platform of MTV’s 'The Grind' during the mid to late 90s. Catering to a myriad of dance enthusiasts since 1994, I'm dedicated to uniting people in the shared joy of dance. My goal? To spread the exhilaration and connection dance brings, and to see that timeless twinkle in the eyes of those who find their groove. Let's step, sway, and celebrate together!

"started doing lessons with my girlfriend just for fun and we're hooked! Audrey is hilarious but a great instructor and we look forward to our lessons with her every week! I highly recommend her for all your partner dancing

Dancing has been my passion since I can think, and I’ve always known that I’m happiest making it my profession! I’ve been lucky to learn from some of the most influential accomplished teachers and artists and love sharing my knowledge and love for dance. It’s important to me to build a good connection with the student to bring out the best in them while having fun. I would describe my teaching as very motivational and positive! The main goal is to have fun while reaching your goals. Focusing a lot on musicality, movement research and expression through dance if that’s something the students are interested in. Otherwise getting a good workout in is always a good reason to take class!
