Instructor Karen Murphy
Dance has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started classes at just two years old—my first teacher, Jean Forbes, loved to say she took me “out of self-defense,” because I was already copying everything I saw in my sister’s class!
From that moment on, dance became my passion. I trained for 16 years in Highland, Tap, and Ballet, and even after an accident brought my performance career to an end, my love for the art never faded. Instead, it inspired a new calling.
In 2001, I earned my teacher’s certification through the B.A.T.D., and I’ve been dedicated to sharing the beauty, elegance, and strength of dance with students ever since.
My goal as an instructor is to create an encouraging, supportive environment where dancers of all ages can build strong technique, confidence, and a genuine love for movement. Whether you’re stepping into the studio for the first time or hoping to grow your skills, I’m committed to helping you shine.
I can’t wait to welcome you into the studio and be part of your dance journey.
