Meet Tori

Tori has trained in various styles of dance, but she has excelled competitively as a jazz, musical theatre, and lyrical performer and choreographer. The foundation of her success is the attention she gives to proper execution and progression of skills, a love of technique and her motivational coaching style.

She has coached at the highest levels of classification in 6A high school dance in Arkansas and Division 1A collegiate dance in North Carolina. Through these experiences has discovered firsthand the need for outside resources and motivation for athletes throughout the year, whether that be individual or team sessions.

There is nothing she loves more than coming alongside a dance program that is already excelling to build skills in individuals and enhance the cohesion of the team.

Tori lives in Frisco, TX with her husband and two children. When she isn’t teaching dance you can find her cooking, traveling, drinking coffee or just spending time with her family.

Acrobatic Arts Certified Instructor

Many studios and individuals offer acro for dance training, but not every instructor has been through the proper training for safe acro for dance progressions. When progressions of strength, flexibility, tumbling, limbering, and balancing are followed properly, not only are dancers able to master and execute skills with ease but they are less likely to be injured in the process.

ISSA Certified Personal Trainer

It was not enough for me to simply draw on my own dance training and years of training others to be the best dance educator I could be. I knew I was missing a fundamental component of understanding the dancer’s body and training on a muscular and skeletal level. This comprehensive understanding of athletic training has enhanced my ability to produce lasting results not only in specific dance training, but overall stronger athleticism and health of my clients.
