Lets dance! Join us for a one time class meant to get your learner moving and having fun. Choreography will change each month. We will begin the class with a warm up and stretching before learning beginner level hip hop and jazz movements. These movements will be combined into an exciting routine. Each movement and 8-count will be presented and rehearsed at a slow and steady pace to help build skill and confidence in beginner learners. We will have plenty of time to answer questions and get clarification on moves throughout the class. Since this is a beginners level class, no previous experience is needed.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My mom says that I came out of the womb dancing but I had my first experience with choreographed dancing when I was around 10 years old. My early formal training was in ballet, modern, and jazz. I quickly discovered a love for hip hop, pom, and kick line as a member of both junior and senior high dance teams.
Upon arrival at the University of Oklahoma, I continued my formal training with classes in jazz, modern, and broadway style dance. I also performed with a variety of campus based dance teams and learned the art of stepping as a member of the Kappa Alpha chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. My many dance endeavors in college led me to win Favorite Dancer in the 2001 Zeta Phi Beta People’s Choice Awards.
After moving to Minnesota, I continued taking hip hop classes and became a dance instructor. I also continued with my love of stepping as a member (3 years) and “step master” (2 years) for the Minneapolis-St. Paul Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. step team, earning three 1st place titles at the Midwest Greek Step Show.
Although I have “retired” from performing and competing, I have continued with my passion for dance and step through coaching and choreographing for youth dance and step teams for the last 14 years.
