MEET OUR TEACHERS
Bridget Accetta
Owner/Instructor/Choreographer
I have danced since I was 5 years old. I grew up with the love of dance. I have owned and operated or worked in studios for twenty years. I have taken many seminars from several professional dancers such as: Al Gilbert, Darryl Retter, Joe Tremaine. My goal is to pass on to my students the love I have for dance! I don’t look at dance as my job, I look at it as an opportunity to help others grow through music, dance, and acting!

Tracy Aaron
Instructor/Choreographer
I have been dancing since I was 4 years old-I pretty much grew up in a studio! I have taken many different seminars, and I recently became certified in acrobatic arts! I have even traveled the country performing with a drum and dance troupe! I always knew that dance was my passion and that it would always be a major part of my life. I look forward to going to work every day, and strive to provide a fun learning environment. I am blessed to love what I do and to be a small part in the spreading of the joy of dance!
