Teacher Feature:
Alissa Steyl
Although I am the owner of the dance studio and extensively involved in the admin side I love to teach my Latin & Ballroom, Lindy Hop & Wedding lessons.
I have been teaching since 2007 part-time while finishing my studies for my certificate in Graphic Design and BComm in Marketing Management.
Trained in Latin & Ballroom, I have a love for Swing Dancing. The techniques are so contrasting from Latin & Ballroom and challenges me in the best ways. The music speaks right to my soul and the dancing just purely makes me happy.
