    How? Learning the basics of: lead and follow, connection, and variations

    What is fusion partner dancing about? 

    • making partner dancing fun, right from the beginning
    • improvising w/ a partner in sync, to any music
    • growing and developing your dancing skills
    • getting you dancing for the rest of your life 

    I love to dance and I love teaching people to dance – especially beginners !  

    I’ve been teaching adults and children and teens successfully for over 15 years.  

    My mission is to empower people to start dancing right away by learning the lead and follow basics, developing an effective connection, adding some pizazz, and having a ball. 

    My lessons teach skill sets which fast track acquiring competence and confidence. The dance events are friendly and fun.

    See you on the dance floor !
