AngieDance
Overview
I've been teaching Swing, Latin, and Ballroom dance since 1994. I am passionate about teaching and sharing my love of dance with other people. I enjoy teaching a variety of people, especially those who are first starting out since I remember how it felt to be a beginning dancer, as well as experienced dancers. I teach social dance lessons and group classes. I also delight in teaching wedding dance lessons to help couples with their first dance.
I've performed and competed around the US, and I have been certified as a professional dance instructor by the Terpsichore Association, the National Dance Council of America and the United States International Society of Teachers of Dance.

February 25, 2025Best instructor ever
She engaged with my guests and one person struggled so afterwards she stayed longer and spent time with the person helping him to get the moves right. We all loved her and will book her in a heartbeat again.

October 21, 2024Fun, Delightful Group Dance Instruction
Angie has just the right touch to first engage a group and get them on their feet! She and Sammy are such a graceful dancing duo to inspire learners. They were both really skilled at breaking down the steps so we could follow and they kept the instruction entertaining so we had fun getting up to speed. Within a short time our group was dancing to music and feeling accomplished. Their joy in dancing is infectious and was a pleasure to share at our event!

August 2, 2023Lots of fun learning new dances!
Angie was energetic and fun! Our event enjoyed her enthusiasm in teaching something she loves.
I recommend her for an event with adults. Some dances were more suited for people who had some previous dance experience and are more fit to active. She did get people engaged and moving. I recommend Angie for fun dance party.

July 7, 2023Most amazing dance teacher!
Angie is so kind and incredibly knowledgeable. She makes you feel like family even if you’ve just met her because she has such a kind soul. She helps you not only learn the moves but how to recover with grace when you inevitably make a mistake with the movements. I came in with two left feet and my fiancé who has a bit of experience from years ago and Angie met us both where we were at and after just a couple hours of practice with her and homework of practice we have the moves we need for our wedding dance to look great. Couldn’t have asked for a better teacher! We love you Angie!

Thank you, Suzannah, for the glowing review! You are such kind folks, and it has been a pleasure working with you both! I'm glad you are enjoying learning to dance together and I hope you'll be able to use your skills beyond your first dance, anytime there is music you can just hold each other and dance together!

About
I took my first ballroom dance class when I was twelve and I was hooked. I began with social dancing and then my focus shifted to competition. I competed in the professional division with my professional partner as well as in the Pro/Am division with my students, winning awards in both. I studied dance in earnest, cross training in ballet, jazz and modern dance. I also developed an interest in vintage clothes and dance, and I perform with the Decobelles in shows around the Bay Area. Now that I have retired from competition, I have come back full circle to social dancing. I enjoy going out dancing and introducing the joy I find with new students. Periodically we have "field trips" where we go out dancing together to enjoy different venues and music. In addition to my group classes and private lessons, I am hired to teach and perform for private parties and corporate events. Over the years I've enjoyed all kinds of partner dancing, not only swing, latin and ballroom, but blues, tango, country, and vintage dance. I would love to share my expertise with you!
