Meet The Staff

Mindy Maxson
I was twenty years old when I took my first job as a dance instructor. After my first day I knew teaching dance was going to be a part of my life. Now owning a dance studio, I feel so lucky to be able to do what I love; inspire and motivate young people into the art of dance. “Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion” – Martha Graham “To watch us dance is to hear our hearts speak.” – Hopi Indian Saying
