My Story

I grew up in Cape Cod, Massachusetts where my love of dance began at an early age. My parents enrolled me in a few classes at the dance studio in our small town and I knew I was where I wanted to be. Growing up, I spent the majority of my time in dance classes and competing in dance competitions across the country.

I continued my dance journey through high school and college where I was both a member of and played a leading role in their dance teams. I took a short break from dance after college until I found an adult dance company in Rhode Island. I was nervous to try since I hadn't been dancing, but it ended up being everything I needed. I was able to express myself again in a way that has always been so familiar, while making some amazing friends along the way.

When I moved to Raleigh a few years ago, I desperately wanted to find an experience similar to what I had found in Rhode Island. When I came across The Dancer's Workout®, I knew immediately it was what I was looking for. I signed up for the next available class and was welcomed with open arms by Jules, Sara and each one of the dancers attending the class. Although it was something new, with people I had never met, it was comforting in a way that dance has always been to me. It felt like home. 

What TDW Means to Me

Dance has always been such a huge part of my life. Having spent the last few years without it, felt like a piece of me was missing. The Dancer's Workout® has allowed me to feel whole again while also giving me the opportunity to meet people who share the same love of dance. I am excited for this new journey with The MAVENS!
