Dance Instructor & Party Princess
September 2024-Present
Hi everyone, I’m Athena! I have been dancing since I was 3 years old. I started with ballet and went on to learn my main dance styles of jazz, hip hop, modern, contemporary, some tap and a few others that have grown my immense love for dance. I danced in the ballet school Santa Rosa Dance Theater for 12 years and went on to dance through my high school years on the team and company there.
After high school, I started college at the Santa Rosa Junior College and danced in the dance company for the three years I attended there. I was also dancing at the Movement Lab Dance Studio for several years and am very involved in the dance community. I was a dance teacher at a small ballet program when I was in high school for a bit and then went to teach for a 3 and a ½ years at Art & Soul School of Creative and Performing Arts and loved getting to teach the dancers there. I have been teaching dance for about 6 years total! Between those years and places of dance, I did a ballroom dance program for three years, was on a hip hop dance team, have learned many cultural dance styles, have had community performing opportunities and so much more in my dance journey! I recently moved to Sacramento to attend Sac State and am dancing in the dance shows for the college.
I am very happy to now be part of the Fancy Feet Dance family and am so excited to share my passion for dance with these students. I am so happy I get to dance with many amazing dancers and teach amazing students and am grateful to have the utmost support in dance from my teachers, directors, friends and family. Dance is my true passion and I am so grateful I get to do what I love!
