Stephanie began teaching dance as a teenager in New Jersey, where she trained under Eileen Juric. She received a BFA in Dance from SUNY Purchase College where she taught for the Purchase Youth Ballet. She danced professionally in NYC, with Lydia Johnson Dance, Michael Mao Dance, and other ballet and modern companies. After years of performing professionally she began teaching full time. She has taught Ballet, Modern, Contemporary and Lyrical in schools in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Miss Stephanie’s goal is to inspire her students in the belief that classical technique is a gift that can elevate their abilities in all styles of dance. Injury prevention through knowledge of anatomy is emphasized in all of her classes. Miss Stephanie is excited to be part of the Isabelle School of Dance and looks forward to helping students grow as dancers.
