I have been dancing since I was two years old and started competitive dance when I was about nine. I haven’t left that high energy competitive circle, to date.
I nourish my need to dance by teaching at the school where I competed for so many years, New England Dance & Gymnastics Centers in Westfield, MA and Granby, CT.
It is amazing to me to consider that I have been on staff there since 1986, but it is totally true. I teach dancers age 4 and up from beginner to high level competitive dancers and am the Director of “The Kids Cabaret”, which is the musical theater department at the school.
My daughters both dance and sing with the competitive teams at New England Dance Centers making it now a generational passion (and multiplying my joy). I am so proud of the amazing students that I have had a hand in turning out from NEDC. Performers who have gone on to professional careers on Broadway and in movies and television. Dancers who have graduated and pursued their training at college or ballet schools. Students who don’t dance anymore, but carry the life lessons and song in their heart forevermore.
I am a full time real estate agent, that is my career and I love the satisfaction of helping my clients with the biggest purchase and sales of their lives. As fulfilling as that is, dance nourishes my spirit in a different way. Other people go to the gym, to therapists or dinner with friends. My part time evenings at the dance studio fulfills all of those needs while allowing my daughters and I to share time and joy in a combined interest and allowing me to keep passing my love of dance on to the next generation(s).
How many people can claim that they have hired a Dancing REALTOR? Heck, challenge me, I will tap dance for your business!
