INSTRUCTOR BIO



It's been an amazing lifetime of breathing, living & loving
the art of dance





Hey there, I'm Wendy



I love great music & moving to it.
As a lifelong student of dance, I'm constantly exploring new ways to move in order to be the best educator I can.

Movement is essential for our well-being. After 32 years of teaching dance, I've learned that it's never too late to start moving. It's not just about getting fit, but also having ease of mobility in life. Dance is beneficial in a multitude of ways and I'm passionate about sharing those benefits. I want to get adults moving their body, increasing flexibility, strengthening their core, gaining better balance & stability all while burning calories & having a great time.

This is why I started Flux & Flow Dance & Movement Classes for Adults. Classes specifically designed to be fun, challenging & engaging. A place where you can enjoy the process of moving your body and take advantage of the benefits of taking weekly dance classes. I look forward to moving, getting fit & dancing with you.
