About Michelle
Nice to Meet YOu!
Hi! I am a wife, a mother of three sons (and three daughter-in-laws), and a grandmother. In 2010, my husband surprised me with a gift...our first line dance class. Who knew eight months later I would start teaching and I haven't looked back since. At the time, we lived on the southside of Atlanta, Ga., where we had lived our entire lives. In October 2020, we relocated to Central Florida and have loved sharing the love of line dance here.
Over the years, I've been blessed to teach at workshops with some amazing dance instructors who have inspired me to follow their lead and start choreographing dances as well.
I hope you will come join us! Check out the "Class Schedule" for upcoming lessons. Keep dancing!
Michelle
