Introduction
I am a nationally ranked Latin dancer with extensive competition experience. Dancing since the age of 12, I have been actively competing at the adult level in the U.S. and most recently was ranked in the top 17 for USA. Some of my competitive accomplishments include placing top 2 at the 2016 Vegas Open Dance Challenge, top 4 at the 2016 City Lights Ball DanceSport Championships, and top 5 for the 2015 Emerald Ball DanceSport Championships. In addition to the 17+ years of dancing experience, I am also a seasoned instructor with 14+ years of coaching experience. I coached and spearheaded the competitive Latin Dancesport Team for San Jose State University, and then became a coach for the Stanford University competitive team. My dedication to dance led me to also pursue an education in physical therapy. From this, I have developed a unique coaching methodology which combines dance training with physical therapy, which helps to prevent many of the common dancing injuries today, and improves your posture and overall strength over time as well. I can teach all experience levels (little to no experience, and competitive dancers), large groups, 1 on 1 private dance lessons, wedding choreography, and I can do performances with my partner at your special events as well. If you hire me, I am certain we will have a great time! I love sharing my passion for dance, and helping my students reach their personal goals and achievements has always been my greatest joy!

Stacey is a phenomenal dance instructor and a true natural. She was able to whip up an easy choreo for our wedding reception within an hour. We only had time for 2 days of lessons and were able to perform it perfectly. We already had a song in mind, but if you're still stuck on that, she could help with that too!

Stacey is an amazing trainer! My husband and I took a couple of sessions with her to prep us for our wedding dance lessons and we are so happy we did so. In just a few sessions she did a great choreography for us! After our first dance in our wedding everyone complimented on how nice was our dance! Thank you Stacey!

Stacey was an amazing dance instructor! Having no dance experience, we were nervous and didn’t know what to expect. She started with the basics and came up with super fun choreography to our wedding first dance song. She taught in a way that was easy to understand, and focused more on us dancing well with one another than looking perfect. We were also able to learn in a private area in the back of the ballroom so we didn’t feel awkward. We were able to learn our whole dance in just 5 sessions. It was a great experience and we know our wedding guests will be super impressed!

We are so happy that we decided to go with Stacey for our wedding choreography. We had wanted a mashup for our first dance and a few other choreographers told us that it wouldnt be a good idea as the first dance needs to be no more than a minute and half. This was so not true!! Stacey understood what we wanted and choreographed this beautiful and fun routine for our first dance. She made sure that she not only taught us the routine but went over the dance basics and techniques to make it easier for us. Despite of having danced before all her tips and tricks were extremely helpful. As for my husband, this was his first time dancing and by the end of the classes not only was he dancing great but we also had so much fun that we decided to do social dancing classes with her after the wedding. She choreographed a beautiful slow routine for the first part of our dance followed by a crazy fun routine for the second part of the dance. We were able to do lifts and spins and stuff we never thought we could do. I cant express how thankful we were to have Stacey as our dance teacher. She is patient, extremely talented, fun and an amazing person. I would recommend her a 1000%. Looking forward to all the future dance lessons with her.
