I walked into Fred Astaire Dance Studios – Brookfield nearly 14 years ago as a student \u2013 obviously I became hooked. I continued as a student for 7 years, winning numerous state, regional and national titles. At the age of 20, I became a professional competitor and also started teaching. My competitive journey took me all over the United States, my professional achievements include: undefeated Fred Astaire regional smooth champion, Fred Astaire National Rising Star Smooth Champion, 10 time Fred Astaire Open Smooth finalist, and a United State Rising Star Smooth Finalist.<\/p>\n
I am honored to be the owner at both the Brookfield & Milwaukee Studios where I learned how to dance. I feel that the greatest part of dancing is sharing that experience with others \u2013 this truly is my perfect job. I would encourage anyone who is considering taking a dance lesson to dive in and enjoy the experience \u2013 you will not be sorry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7862,"template":"","class_list":["post-7861","team_member","type-team_member","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/milwaukee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team_member\/7861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/milwaukee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team_member"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/milwaukee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/team_member"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/milwaukee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/milwaukee\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
