Introduction: I am a nationally ranked Latin dancer with extensive competition experience. Dancing since the age of 12, I have been actively competing at the adult level in the U.S. and most recently was ranked in the top 17 for USA. Some of my competitive accomplishments include placing top 2 at the 2016 Vegas Open Dance Challenge, top 4 at the 2016 City Lights Ball DanceSport Championships, and top 5 for the 2015 Emerald Ball DanceSport Championships. In addition to the 17+ years of dancing experience, I am also a seasoned instructor with 14+ years of coaching experience. I coached and spearheaded the competitive Latin Dancesport Team for San Jose State University, and then became a coach for the Stanford University competitive team. My dedication to dance led me to also pursue an education in physical therapy. From this, I have developed a unique coaching methodology which combines dance training with physical therapy, which helps to prevent many of the common dancing injuries today, and improves your posture and overall strength over time as well. I can teach all experience levels (little to no experience, and competitive dancers), large groups, 1 on 1 private dance lessons, wedding choreography, and I can do performances with my partner at your special events as well. If you hire me, I am certain we will have a great time! I love sharing my passion for dance, and helping my students reach their personal goals and achievements has always been my greatest joy!

Stacey is an amazing trainer! My husband and I took a couple of sessions with her to prep us for our wedding dance lessons and we are so happy we did so. In just a few sessions she did a great choreography for us! After our first dance in our wedding everyone complimented on how nice was our dance! Thank you Stacey!

We are so happy that we decided to go with Stacey for our wedding choreography. We had wanted a mashup for our first dance and a few other choreographers told us that it wouldnt be a good idea as the first dance needs to be no more than a minute and half. This was so not true!! Stacey understood what we wanted and choreographed this beautiful and fun routine for our first dance. She made sure that she not only taught us the routine but went over the dance basics and techniques to make it easier for us. Despite of having danced before all her tips and tricks were extremely helpful. As for my husband, this was his first time dancing and by the end of the classes not only was he dancing great but we also had so much fun that we decided to do social dancing classes with her after the wedding. She choreographed a beautiful slow routine for the first part of our dance followed by a crazy fun routine for the second part of the dance. We were able to do lifts and spins and stuff we never thought we could do. I cant express how thankful we were to have Stacey as our dance teacher. She is patient, extremely talented, fun and an amazing person. I would recommend her a 1000%. Looking forward to all the future dance lessons with her.

Stacey is a patient, professional, and amazing instructor. My husband and I wanted a choreographed first dance at our wedding. She choreographed a dance to our song with fun tricks, broke down each part during the lessons, and listened to us when we had questions/concerns. We both felt super comfortable with her and never embarrassed by our dance moves. We have no experience in dance and Stacey made us look like pros at our wedding! We got so many compliments from our guests! Thank you for everything, Stacey!

My fiance and I recently had the pleasure of working with Stacey for our wedding first dance, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She went above and beyond in every aspect of our journey, ensuring that we felt nothing short of spectacular. We met with Stacey for 12 lessons over the course of three months and created a three minute dance using two songs. We could not be happier with the result and are so excited for our wedding day! Stacey is an incredible dancer with a lot of technical expertise. She effortlessly guided us through many steps (waltz and american rumba) and tricks through this period. She coached us through stage presence and help us get mentally prepared for the day. Additionally, one of her most outstanding qualities was her ability to adapt and tailor the dance based on our feedback. Most importantly, we had an absolute blast with Stacey! The dancing was so much fun and I can't wait to continue after the wedding. If you need a dance teacher, don't hesitate and hire Stacey!!
