I love what I do đź’ś
Miss Angie brings a powerful blend of artistry, leadership, and passion to the studio. She began her dance journey at just 5 years old at Maxine Chapman’s Studio of Dance in Vineland, New Jersey, while also starting her martial arts training in the GoJu style under Master John Austino Jr. From an early age, she showed the discipline, drive, and creativity that would shape her future.
In 2006, Angie expanded her dance training at Arts of the Dance Centre in Vineland, where she studied under DMA Master Teacher Adele Harwas and professional ballerina Rucsandra Maniaci. There, she trained in Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Contemporary, Tap, Bollywood, and Ballroom, discovering a true passion for choreography and creative expression. During this time, she also earned her black belt in Kenpo under 6-time World Champion Kerry Hallman in Hammonton, New Jersey.
After graduation, Angie continued her dance education in college and went on to found the Rider University Dance Troupe in 2016. She served as showcase director and choreographer for four years, helping bring original and inspiring performances to the campus community until the pandemic paused the program.
In 2020, Angie relocated to the Navajo Reservation, where she discovered a new love for coaching cheerleading. After moving to Missouri, she continued coaching and earned a 9/10 in routine composition and choreography, further showcasing her strong creative vision and leadership.
After welcoming her daughter in February 2024, Angie sought a better work-life balance and felt called back to her dance roots. She brings with her a deep passion for creating meaningful, challenging, and inspiring pieces for students, along with a strong desire to continue growing through Dance Masters of America.
We are so excited to have Miss Angie starting her third season with us!
