I grew up in LaBelle, Florida, a small town in the south, with very few opportunities to develop my love for the art of dance. I moved to Pensacola with my parents in 1993. At that time I decided to take dance classes, hoping to meet new people and develop and enhance my skills. I had no idea what was in store for me. I gained not only new friends but a passion I had never known before. I knew from that point on I wanted to develop, perform and share my passion for dance with others for the rest of my life. I took every class that I could take, and I still couldn t get enough. God was working in my life and He had a plan. Only by a miracle was I offered a teaching position the very next year. Teaching only intensified my love for dance. In 1995 I met the man of my dreams. He proposed to me on stage at a recital after I had just poured out my heart in a solo dedicated to him. It was a very romantic moment in time! Many years and two beautiful children later it was time for my dream to become a reality.<br /> Choosing a name for my studio was one of the most important aspects of my vision. I wanted the name to say it all. My mother suggested LaBelle for the name of the studio. LaBelle is perfect, and my mother is a genius! LaBelle means the beautiful in French, and as I mentioned above, LaBelle was my home town.<br /> LaBelle sums up my vision in one word. The art of dance is beautiful! With God s guidance and the support of family and friends my dream has come true and in Fall 2007 LaBelle Performing Arts opened it's doors for the first time.<br /> It is my desire that the program at LaBelle Performing Arts will give others who love the fine arts the opportunity to reach their dreams.<br /> Dance Instruction Read more
