Courtney is no stranger to the stage as she began her dance career at four years old. She began taking classes in California and moved to Colorado in 1992. She continued her training and was an active member of competitive teams up until the age of 17. She has had the oportunity to train with some of the top choreographers in the world. Courtney's professional experience began in 2000 when she became a member of the Denver Nuggets Dancers. She was part of the Denver Nuggets Dancers for three years earning the title of Assistant to the Director in her third year. Currently Courtney is the Director of an Elite Dance Troupe here in Colorado.

Courtney has been teaching since 1998 and knew instantly that was what she was meant to do. She believes there is nothing better than being able to take your passion and share it with others. She has been recognized as a teacher including a featured article in the Hub Newspaper in Littleton, Colorado. Courtney has many strong philosophies about the role and importance of a teacher! A couple ways that Courtney incorporates these into her classes are:

*Developing a curriculum and music content that is age and level appropriate.

*Teaching class sizes that allow her to give one on one attention to each dancer.
