In the designing & creating of the ballroom dance dresses, with all of my ballroom dance experience, being in it for over 25 years, I’m aware of what styles & colors look best on my clients for their particular body type plus style of dance or dances they are performing, as well as their needs for comfort at their level of dance & budget.
I actually started my creating on Barbie dolls as a young girl, then designed & made a lot of my fashions through out my school years. With my background of creating fashions since I was a young girl, plus being in the ballroom dance business since 1981, I have created & feature a line of exquisite, custom designed ballroom dance dresses available for ballroom, Latin, swing, tango, theatrical & country dancing. There are now several other categories such as men's Latin-rhythm shirts, social dresses & more. I have created & will custom make, as well, dresses or costumes for any special occasion such as prom dresses, pageant dresses, skaters & solo dancers!
Many of my most exciting years were owning a Fred Astaire Dance Studios for 13 years, teaching ballroom dance, plus competing both pro/am & professionally for over 20 years! I had so many amazing students & pro partners! I have won numerous awards for my competitive dancing & teaching skills, & in 1994 decided to venture out on my own. I will treasure the years there, plus all those who have helped me develop the fine teaching & dancing skills I now possess.
