From our Tots N' Tutus class for 2-3 year olds, to our nationally recognized Bri's Bump, Baby N' Dance Classes, and our Special Needs classes, we truly offer the joy of dance to all! Our mission is to positively impact the lives of individuals through dance by providing discipline, character development, confidence, and integrity through age appropriate choreography, music, & costuming from the best instructors in the industry and exposure to international arts related and performance opportunities.

Our Story

I never wanted a woman to choose between family and purpose. You can have both and thrive as a wife, mom, and entrepreneur. What began as Pregnancy Dance Classes in 2018, became the first of its kind in my area (Northwest Indiana), and definitely the first African American to take our Bump N’ Dance Class on a 7 city tour across the United States at 6 months pregnant. I have encouraged countless moms in the African American community that physical fitness through low impact movement, such as Dance is beneficial to the health of their baby and themselves.
