TDW MAVENS
Meet Haley
My Story
My mother started me in dance classes when I was 2.5 years old and it was the only activity that stuck with me my entire childhood and teenage years. My father has a huge passion for listening to all kinds of music (his nickname was “Disco Daddy” in college) so naturally dancing around the house while music blared was a normal thing for me growing up. I took ballet, jazz, and tap in my younger years at a local studio and as I got into high school I continued jazz and added hip-hop and contemporary modern to my schedule. I fell in love with contemporary dancing through my high school and even performed a dance while blindfolded the whole time on stage with my fellow dance classmates.
I never got the time to continue dancing in college, as my design major was very demanding. After graduating, I thought I was never going to dance again when I didn’t want to be in a local studio with teenagers in my class and Zumba at the gym was just not the same. After 11 years of not dancing, I stumbled upon The Dancers Workout® and after my first class my heart is forever happy again. If dance is in your blood, it never leaves you.
What TDW Means to Me
When I saw an ad on Facebook for TDW, I got curious and researched it like crazy and immediately signed up for the next class I could attend. I was so excited and my first class did not disappoint especially since I was a little nervous my dance skills had been lost. The culture that Jules creates in the studio is truly something special that you feel a part of the second you walk in the door. Everyone is welcoming, friendly and there is no judgment for your level of dance experience. A few years ago I became pregnant with my first child and I was able to modify where needed and still continue dancing until 38 weeks pregnant! Dancing is truly the best kind of workout that releases my stress and tension. I come to class overwhelmed by joy and my spirit filled while having fun learning choreography. I am grateful for Jules, Sara and all the other dancers around me as I grow dancing with The Mavens this season.
