I'm a dance teacher, choreographer, and studio owner but more than that, I'm a mentor, a cheerleader, and someone who truly cares about your child.
​
I created Miss Lucy's School of Dance because I believed dance could be something even bigger. A place where every child feels seen, encouraged, and challenged. Where strong technique and strong character grow together. Where every dancer belongs.
MEET MISS LUCY
Hi, I'm Miss Lucy!
Thank you for trusting me with your dancer.
"We learn. We grow.
We encourage.
We celebrate.
Here, every dancer belongs."

DANCE EDUCATOR. KINESIOLOGIST. LIFELONG DANCER.
MY STORY
I started dancing when I was 3 years old, and it quickly became my passion, my outlet, and my greatest joy. Over the years, I had amazing teachers who believed in me, challenged me, and showed me what was possible. They changed my life.
I knew I wanted to do the same for other kids-so I dedicated my life to learning everything I could about dance, teaching, and child development.
​
Today, I pour my heart into every class, every dancer, and every family who walks through our doors.
IT ALL STARTED WITH a love of dance

"Dance doesn't have to be about pressure, points, or perfection.
​
It can be about people. It can be about passion.
​
It can be about purpose.
​
That's the studio I built.​
That's the studio I'm proud of."
- Miss Lucy
