Hello! I’m Hazelyn Maria, here to guide you from your first uncertain step to becoming a graceful, captivating, and irresistible dancer on any dance floor. With over two decades of professional experience, I’ve crafted specialized, authentic, and practical dance lessons and programs designed for beginners. Whether you’ve never danced, have a bit of experience, or feel hesitant and insecure about dancing, I’m here to help you find your rhythm, confidence, and unique expression—whether it’s at home, on vacation, at a special event, or on any dance floor.

NOTE: These specialized dance lessons are not the typical group classes, social classes, or free sessions you might find elsewhere. My classes are uniquely designed for true beginners and those wanting to revisit and strengthen their fundamentals.

Why My Dance Lessons & Programs Stand Out
Learning to dance as a beginner should be meaningful, supportive, and genuinely fun. I see each of my students through professional eyes, respecting your unique learning pace, abilities, and journey. I bring patience, care, and appreciation for your investment in yourself. My goal? To give you a solid, adaptable dance foundation that prepares you to grow confidently—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—in any dance setting. I aim to inspire a renewed sense of fun and adventure, so you can fully enjoy your self expression and contribution on the dance floor and in your partnership.

What You’ll Learn with Me
Dance isn’t just about moving to a beat; it’s a full-body experience of rhythm, expression, connection, and joy. Here’s what I bring to each beginner’s journey:

  • Mastering the Basics: We’ll build a strong foundation—fundamentals are the heart of any dance, helping you develop balance, coordination, timing, and fluidity, so each movement feels and looks natural.
  • Correct Muscle Training from Step 1: Beginners can easily get distracted by choreography, patterns and various steps, risking poor technique, muscle strain and safety on the dancefloor. I focus on correct muscle training, ensuring every step builds strength, stamina, and coordination.
  • Step-by-Step Guidance: You’ll learn essential techniques for leading, following, styling, freestyling, and partner dancing, with an emphasis on self-expression, creativity, and the joy of dance.
  • Bringing Dance to Life: You’ll learn how to bring life into your dancing and into the steps with various timings, tempos, and rhythms, allowing you to feel fully immersed and free as you move with ease to any style and fusion in the music. My students often say that this unique teaching method is what sets my approach apart in the dance community.

Lessons Guided with Care and Love
With connections to world-class dancers, teachers, and champions, I can also connect you with trusted partners if you want to explore advanced training. But as a beginner, rest assured—you’re in the most caring, knowledgeable, and capable hands with me. I know that building a solid foundation in the basics is the most crucial part of your dance journey.

Dance is soulful, joyful, and transformative. Let me help you move beyond insecurity and take that first step—one that can change how you feel about yourself, dancing, and life.

Join Now!
Gift yourself, your teenagers, friends, co-workers, neighbors, or that special someone the joy of my carefully crafted Transformative Beginner’s Dance Lessons. I look forward to teaching you and witnessing your dance transformation!

No Partner Necessary for Privates and Group Lessons:

  • In-Person: I’ll be your partner, and we rotate as needed for group practice.
  • Online: Practice what you’ve learned at my dance practice events.

Note for Beginners:
Learning solo is best for understanding your own body coordination, timing, rhythm, style, and techniques. Once you’re comfortable with the basics, you’re ready for partner work if desired.
