Colleen understands that kids need to move! As a very active young child, her mother put her in dance classes to provide an outlet for her constant wiggles. Having experienced the joy of having this place for expression, and having seen the confidence that is built through learning to move your body with grace, strength, and coordination, she is now passionate about providing that space for the next generation of young movers. Whether in a classroom, dance studio, or your living room, she has discovered that you can always make space to dance!
