Introduction: I’ve been dancing and choreographing for 18 years. I’ve been teaching and training students for ten years. The styles I do are varied: hip hop, lyrical, contemporary, salsa, bachata, cumbia, merengue, latin styling, heels, jazz, ballet, drill team prep. I can also teach fitness focused classes through the medium of dance. I have danced on the Morton Ranch Drill Team, The Maverick Belles. I also danced on and was Lieutenant Colonel of The Spring Woods Tigerettes. I was honored with the Mayra Canare Spirit Award and Scholarship my senior year. I attended the University of Houston on a merit scholarship and studied Dance. At U of H I danced with the University Dance Theater program. I was then accepted into and offered a scholarship to a Spring program at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts. From there I worked for a private dance company, Super Stars Dance. I then worked for Houston Dance Factory and New Vibe Dance Studio along with teaching and choreographing routines for various schools. Currently I work with Achieve Dance Academy, Instep Dance Center, Diva Dance and Houston Divine Studio. I have enjoyed helping individuals and teams win medals for their competition dances. I’ve trained under two Salsa world champions, Karla Blanco and Eddy Deynes, and danced on their partner team and ladies' styling team. Currently I'm dancing with the R&I Ladies Salsa team. I cherish what I do and have worked with all kinds of different people and circumstances. So when you work with me, it’s a no judgement zone. You’re in a safe and fun environment! Okay, please enough about me. It’s important for me to personalize each lesson or performance piece to fit the student perfectly. Because we all have unique goals and it’s my duty to help you reach them. Whether you are gearing up for a performance or competition, pursuing an interest you’ve always had, looking for a fun fitness routine...whatever your dance needs, I got you. Classes for individuals are typically 70 per hour but 300 for a package of 5. Choreography for a routine is typically extra.

It was a pleasure working with Evie. My daughter learned so much in her sessions and became a much more confident dancer. Evie worked with her on technique, leaps, and flexibility and my daughter is more prepared than ever before for the start of her school's dance season. Thanks, Evie!

Evie is wonderful. She’s an outstanding teacher and coach...her energy for dance is limitless and contagious. She’s a good listener who HEARS what I want out of this and tailors a plan to those goals. I give her 5 stars only because MORE are not available to give. Highly recommend her.

Evie is the WHOLE package!!!! She’s very professional and deeply cared about my project’s needs and requirements, she has fantastic ideas and was just super fun to work with! I am a singer and needed a choreography for one of my songs for a live performance and Evie did an amazing job! I can’t thank her enough and will continue to work with her on other songs!
