Special Message from Joy:
I started dancing at the age of six, studying ballet, tap, and jazz. I graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in theatre and dance and moved to the Twin Cities to be a part of the Children's Theatre Company of Minneapolis.

After two years of performing and touring, I entered the wonderful world of ballroom dance. I was a top teacher at Arthur Murray for five years before venturing out on my own as an independent instructor.

I decided to create the Social Dance Studio six years ago to teach 'club' or 'social' partnership dancing via quality group classes at affordable rates.

I continue to seek education in all forms of dance and aspire to be a champion in my field. As I strive to learn, the more I realize how much I don't know and that the possibilities for improvement are endless.

I am passionate about sharing happiness through dance and feel incredibly fortunate that I am surrounded by creative and positive people everyday.
