Connecting to dancers through honesty and clarity

From passing her Advanced 1 Ballet exam to growing our hip hop program, Miss Cammie is a truly versatile teacher and dancer.

Involved, caring and genuine

Throughout her training, Miss Paige studied Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Lyrical and Hip Hop. Most recently she has began to dive deeper into her understanding of the origins and culture of Hip Hop in order to teach her students more than just Hip Hop steps, but their roots as well.
