Before opening I A.M. Dance, going to dance class was not something Athenians had the luxury of doing.  Parents would have to commute over an hour to take their kids to a place where they could dance. That was my main objective for opening this studio. I wanted to give kids a place where they can dance, have fun and enjoy social interaction with kids their own age in a safe and nurturing environment, just a little closer to home! Dance has been a part of my life for the past 30 years. 

I wanted I A.M. DANCE to become a competitive force in the Dance community, by having students learn & train with my staff of experienced teachers, and then showcasing our talents at local contest, and being able to come home with awards and trophies to show that our efforts have paid off is one of the most rewarding feelings! Also knowing that I have a platform to be a positive influence in the community and role model in these dancers lives, I do not take that position for granted. I want people to say….”Wow, those kids from I A.M. DANCE are amazing!”
