Stephanie is excited to offer her new studio, Artistry Dance Movement, to the community where she can continue to share with her students her passion for dance and her belief that dance is a true form of expression that helps to shape and mold who we become, and can create a beauty that can help to change the world! She has had the joy of growing up in a studio and has watched her two boys do the same, and hopes that she can give her students and families that same experience. She wants her studio to be a home for dancers where they can experience the joy of dance, discover their inner artist and find their self confidence to carry them boldly into their community and beyond.
