Introduction: I am very patient and have been teaching for over 15 years, all ages 3-73. I have taught many styles of dance, such as tap, jazz, ballet, and hip hop. I will take the time to teach in a way that helps the student the most because everyone does not learn the same way. I love the gratification I get from watching the student work hard and achieve what they set out to do. I get to give my knowledge and watch how the student makes it their own. Nothing beats it! I take great pride in being able to teach because it is not a gift that everyone has.

Taking tap with Mo has been a great experience! I've improved tremendously after only a few lessons. I am still a beginner and have taken tap classes before, but one-on-one with Mo has been the best thing to increase my skills. She is very detailed oriented and doesn't let you fake it. I plan on working with her for a long time. Worth every penny!

I've been taking private lessons for a few weeks now in tap and jazz, and I plan to continue. Mo has been great! I feel comfortable and I have fun in class, which for me is a real feat. I've got some hang ups about dance and it's nice to not feel stressed about coming in, and also feel like I'm being pushed to get better. The pricing is more than reasonable for what you get and she's also just a cool person to be around. Absolute 5 stars!!!
