Miss Tess
Dancing has always been part of my life since I was three years old. I grew up in Chittenango, N.Y. dancing competitively doing groups, duets and solos. After graduating high school, I continued my education receiving my bachelors degree in Psychology and communication. While studying in college, I started fieldwork at Danceography (utica), reestablished the Utica College Dance Team, spent weekends dancing at night clubs through  prominent talent agents and danced for the AHL Utica Comets team. I continued teaching for Danceography (Utica) for six years when I realized I  wanted the children in Syracuse to experience Danceography! I realized that my true passion in life was teaching dance. I want every child to love dancing not for any trophy but for the pure joy of dancing!
