Our Team
Miss Rebecca
Founder, Owner & Creative Director
Miss Rebecca began dancing at just 2 years old and hasn’t stopped since! With over 20 years of experience both dancing and teaching a variety of styles at the same studio, her passion for the art is lifelong and deeply rooted.
She is a proud alumna and former captain of the Plainedge High School Kickline Team, and today continues to give back by choreographing their Competition Pom routine year after year. In college, Miss Rebecca danced on the Division I St. John’s University Dance Team for five years, serving as captain for two. She later became the team’s Assistant Coach for six years, playing a key role in leading the program to its first-ever D1 Hip Hop National Championship—followed by two more national titles and many top five finishes.
In addition to her dance background, Miss Rebecca is a certified Zumba instructor and has led numerous classes and events across Long Island.
Outside the studio, she’s a Pediatric Pharmacy Supervisor at Cohen Children’s Medical Center. When she’s not working or dancing, she enjoys working out, spending time with her family and friends, and playing with her adorable pup, Teddy Graham.
Miss Courtney
iNstructor
Miss Courtney has been dancing since the age of 3 — all alongside Miss Rebecca at the very same studio where her love for dance began! Over the years, she’s held leadership roles as captain of the Island Trees High School Kickline Team and later, captain of the St. Joseph’s College Dance Team. One of her proudest moments was helping lead the SJC Dance Team to their first-ever finals placement at UDA Nationals, an experience that deepened her passion for creating powerful and emotional choreography.
Miss Courtney’s favorite styles to teach and perform include hip hop, tap, jazz, lyrical, and pom. She brings energy, creativity, and heart to every class she teaches.
When she’s not in the studio, Miss Courtney works as a speech-language pathologist at a special needs preschool — a role she cherishes. In her free time, you can find her at home with her husband and their 1-year-old puppy, Lily, usually curled up with a good book.
Miss Danielle

Miss Danielle has been dancing since the age of 4 — and fun fact, she’s danced alongside Miss Rebecca the entire time! With experience teaching dancers from ages 2 through adult, including competition teams, Ms. Danielle brings energy, patience, and joy to every class she teaches.
In high school, she was a proud member of the Plainedge High School Kickline Team, competing throughout all four years. Her favorite dance styles include tap, jazz, and hip hop, and she loves sharing her passion for movement and rhythm with her students.
Miss Danielle attended NYIT, where she earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. She currently works as a physical therapist at Huntington Hospital and Cohen Children’s Medical Center, combining her love for movement and helping others.
Outside of the studio and hospital, you can find Miss Danielle enjoying time with her husband, two kids, and two pups — her favorite kind of dance party happens right at home!
Miss Michelle
Instructor
Miss Michelle began dancing at a young age, training in a wide range of styles including ballet, pointe, jazz, tap, and precision line. Her passion for dance grew stronger with each passing year, ultimately leading her to pursue a professional career in both performing and teaching.
Over the course of her career, Miss Michelle has performed as a Lead Dancer with professional companies across the country, gaining valuable experience on a variety of stages. Some of her most memorable performances include dancing at Lincoln Center with the Long Island Ballet Theater, The St. James Cathedral, and Disney World with the JCLynn Dancers. She also performs annually with the JCLynn Precision Kick Line for the Town of Oyster Bay Holiday Show.
A strong believer in the emotional and connective power of dance, Miss Michelle is inspired by the words of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche:
“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”
She encourages her students to embrace their individuality, express themselves freely, and let their inner rhythm shine through every movement.
