A love for dance and a passion for the arts at a young age are what led me to a career in Dance and Performing Arts. I have 45 years of teaching experience. I have always had a passion for and love of working with young children as well as special needs children. I have taught in many studios through the years including Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Texas and so enjoy my profession. Year-end recitals, holiday dances and the production of the Christmas play “The Nutcracker” are the main recitals I have participated in and choreographed for my students.

I was employed for 25 years at Boni’s Dance and Performing Arts Studio, where my specialty with the little ones included the following classes: “Mommy and Me” (18 months-2 yrs of age), Motor Development (2-3 yrs old), Pre-Ballet (3 yrs old), Ballet, Tap and Tumbling (4-8 yrs of age). I also thoroughly enjoy working with Senior citizens who are amazing Tappers!

Additionally, I am a certified instructor of “Rhythm Works”, a program dedicated to special needs children. While in Sealy, TX, where my husband was City Manager, I started a class for Senior Citizens. And, being a certified instructor, I introduced the “Chance to Dance” program for special needs children.
From Sealy, we moved to Lago Vista where I also taught at three different nursery schools, simultaneously. I have also taught part-time at In-Step Dance Studio.
