Please welcome Ms Michelle!

Going into my 23rd year of owning inMotion. 22 years in the Meisner Center building. I have been dancing since I was 5, teaching since I was a teenager and earned a BA in dance from Columbia College Chicago.

Tap/Jazz, Adult tap and jazz, Preballet/tap beg and int, technique for dance co, Teen Lyrical/Contemporary

Honestly my favorite part is having a job that I actually love coming to every day.

Goals…. To have fun but grow, learn and make
progress in their class. Hopefully make some new friends and look forward to coming to class each week.

I can’t say that I have one favorite memory because I have so many over the years but I loved watching my husband and daughter dance together. And I love seeing past students of mine now bring their kids to me.

My husband and I are now empty-nesters with the 2 cats. Kleo is in college. I have 2 grown step kids, an amazing son and daughter in law, and some awesome grandkids. I love spending time with my family and going fishing (me reading a book) with my husband.
