Courtney
Courtney has been dancing since two years old, and continued to train in South Florida as a student for 17 years, and company member for 9 of those years. During this time, she competed in many competitions, appearing in group numbers, solos, duets, trios, and loved every second of it. Her dance training led into her love for yoga, which she believes is an amazing compliment to dancing. “It offers everything a dancer needs to excel, especially long term, improving strength, and flexibility, as well as providing breathing techniques, a creative mind, and body familiarity.” Courtney has extensive training in tap, jazz, ballet, pointe, lyrical,
modern, and has touched upon ballroom. Now, Courtney teaches dance to children, yoga to children and adults, and studies at Nova Southeastern University with a major in biology, and a minor in dance. She is very
excited to be on board, and looking forward to a wonderful dance season!
