I strongly believe everyone can dance, and should. All bodies can learn to dance and enjoy themselves. Dance should be joyful, about self-expression, and a way of learning about your body and your spirit. I believe it’s never too late to start learning something new, and your bucket list should not wait until you retire.

Private Lessons

Need a little more one-on-one attention? I’m available to teach private lessons for teens and adults interested in learning to do tap or ballet for the first time, or who want to improve their skills. My strengths are patience, enthusiasm, and an unusual way of approaching dance. I care about proper technique that results in fewer injuries and dancing longevity. I care about helping you grow your body awareness. I can also work through any special fitness goals you have, whether they are related to dancing or not. I can teach on-line or in-person. I’m not famous or particularly interested in becoming famous, so if that’s your goal, I’m not the right teacher for you.

If you need a little extra help with getting in shape, or are looking for exercises to stretch and strengthen, you can check out my Available Body Fitness Database with 280+ sortable fitness exercises. There’s also pre-made workout menus if you want, and a bunch of motivational quotes and statistics. You got this!

Tap Dancing

My Tap in Ten videos break down the most basic tap steps. Maybe someday I’ll add to this collection, but this is a start!
