Meet Our Staff

Professional Philosophy:

"Keep trying and you will succeed."

Who I am: I am originally from Egypt. New York, NY was my home for many years and now I am proud to live in our historic city, St. Augustine, Florida. Over the past 25-30 years, I've met many amazing people and have been fortunate to share in their lives. For me, dancing is living. To choose one favorite dance is impossible. I absolutely love them all! Because we teach on an interrelated system, learning all of the different dances is fun and easy for most students. Afterall, what you do on the dance floor is our business!

Hobbies and interests: Soccer, reading, observing natural settings, travel, spending quality time with my family and teaching others.

Professional Philosophy:

"I would like to use dance to help people achieve personal goals. Dance can do something different for each person it touches."

Who I am: I am from Jacksonville Beach, Florida. I have danced all my life and cannot imagine life without dancing. Each dance has something unique and important to offer. Currently, my favorite is Salsa.

Hobbies and interests: Dancing, local theater, reading and movies.

Who I am: I am originally from Houma, Louisiana. I have been in Jacksonville for about two and a half years.

Cha Cha, "let your personality shine."
