Miss Danielle ("Dance with Me," tiny tots, tap, jazz, hip hop)
and Miss Mary Ann ("Dance with Me," tiny tots, tap, jazz, lyrical)
“In 1981 and 1984 when each of us began dancing, a passion and love for dance was sparked immeidatley. One dance class led to two, then three, and then more… each of us could not get enough of dance class!
What started out with little “Copacabana” and “Yellow Polka Dot Bikini” costumes, has since transformed into a dream of teaching dance, costuming your children, preparing them for their recital and running our own business.
We thank you for the opportunity to share our love and knowledge of dance your child.”
Miss Aimee - adult classes, boot camp, PiYo
Miss Aimee has been teaching dance and fitness in the Buffalo area since 2001. She started her dance training at the age of 9 with Betty Rogers and later at other local WNY studios including Debonaire (Sam Fiorella), David DeMarie, and finally at Darlene Ceglia’s Dance Project. During her years of dance, she competed in many regional and national competitions, as well as participating in local performances. After her time as a competitive dance, she began sharing her love of dance with other adults around Buffalo as a dance instructor and has since taught various levels of tap jazz, and hip hop to dozens of students of all ages. Miss Aimee’s passion for dance eventually crossed over to a passion for fitness as well. She currently holds certifications in personal training, various group fitness classes (including kickboxing, barbell, boot camp and core training), as well as yoga, PiYo, and Body Pump. We are proud to have her at Modern Movement.
