Organizing and Decorating
I have a passion for organizing and decorating rooms and homes that I love to bring into my studio. I love playing with color on the walls and wall decor. I always like to stay up-to-date with my studio's style. Organization is key to running a dance studio, everything from student's payment records to costumes and storage. I know that I run a better studio when all is in line and open to anything that comes my way. I believe dancers feel motivated in a stylish and organized environment.
