For the past 15 years, I’ve been teaching fitness classes, and one of the things I’ve always loved most is the connection between movement and music. Helping people move with confidence while creating energy through music has been a huge part of my life, and dancing feels like the natural next challenge for me.

As I’m about to become an empty nester, I’m looking for something that pushes me outside my comfort zone, gives me a new goal to work toward, and allows me to continue growing. This feels like the perfect opportunity to learn a new skill, challenge myself physically and mentally, and be part of something exciting and inspiring.

I’m also looking forward to sharing the experience with my family. With my kids heading off to start their own adventures, I love the idea of giving them a reason to come home and cheer me on from the audience. It would be incredibly meaningful to show them that it’s never too late to try something new, take a risk, and pursue a challenge that excites you.
