MEET The Business Owner:

How well do we really know ourselves?  This is a question that I ask myself and all my students and through dance we learn a little more and some ...
​
Quick facts about me: Born in Park Ridge, IL.  Raised on a farm in GA with horses, cows, cats & dogs: attended school in Texas, Georgia & Israel; Served 2 years in the Israeli army, came to NYC for acting   I own Belle, a mix breed (Great Dane, Lab, Blue Tic Coonhound rescued from a kill shelter in GA)

HISTORY of the Business:
I established Dance Well NY in 2008; as I started teaching Hustle & Swing in the spring of 2008 after 8 years of training.  I added Ballroom to my list of expertise with a teacher training program and tested in Medalist Exams of main figures.  I LOVE teaching.  My job, career, life is bringing the joy to others through movement of their body.  My claim to success is teaching choreography to newer dancers and to my wedding couples.  2 out of 9 wedding couples continue on with me with private lessons for fun.  I hope to continue dancing and teaching well into my 90's.

My first love and what I am going to dedicate the rest of my life to is dancing... teaching others how to move and enjoy themselves on the dance floor... Dancing keeps you young and happy, what better life goal could one have?!

ABOUT YOU!

So you might ask... "What does that have to do with me - meaning you?"  I am looking for you.  You know who you are.  You are the one who thinks they can't dance, that you have 4 left feet.  You are the one who stands at the bar at weddings, and parties.  You are the one on the cruise who shrinks into the corner while your friends are out dancing and having the time of their life.  You are the one who would really like to impress your daughter at her wedding.  You are the one who HATES going to the gym for exercise but loves music... did you know dancing is a very good form of exercise AND it's fun!

I believe you get my gist.  You are the one.  I am reaching out to you and now it's your turn to reach out to me!
