Our Teachers
West Coast Swing
Amy
Amy has danced for over 40 years and brings her professional experience as a classical dancer to her social dance teaching.
Her training in ballet, jazz, modern, and contemporary gives her deep knowledge and understanding of fundamental body movement, and fuels her passion for helping students to learn in a clear, accessible, and fun way.
Amy is a founding member of DownStreet Dance and teaches a variety of styles.
Belly Dance
Erika
Erika's Bellydance training consists of seminars, workshops and private classes taken with Egyptian, Iraqi, and Iranian teachers.
She was offered to teach classes for dance teachers and students in Egypt within the "Sagat" Festival in El Cairo, Egypt. Receiving an acknowledgment from the "Cioff" (The Egyptian Council of Folklore, Arts, Groups and Festival).
Erika graduated from the National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature in Mexico City in Contemporary Dance.
West Coast Swing, Salsa
Laura
Laura has been dancing, teaching, and performing West Coast Swing, Hustle, Salsa, and many more for a little more than a decade. When she teaches, her emphasis is on creating a dance class that doesn't have any age, size, mobility, or enthusiasm limits!
With zero childhood dancing other than "rockin' out" to the Beatles in her living room when she was 3, Laura brings the ability to teach students to be kind to themselves when learning new dances or simply how to dance for the first time.
She started learning partner dances in her 30s and keenly remembers the awkward stage of no proprioception or coordination because it was pretty much last Tuesday.
Burlesque
Marieve
With over 30 years of dance experience, including jazz, modern, ballet and lyrical, Marieve is "poised" to delve back into the world of burlesque. She was the house choreographer for Charlottetown Burlesque from 2016-2018, and has performed in Toronto and on PEI in this style over the last 13 years. Burlesque allows you to explore your desires, unleash your fetishes, poke fun at society, and expound your creativity. It is as much about the story telling and acting as it is about dance, and she hopes to bring an appreciation to her students with this informed class.
