Theresa Tucci has always loved dance, but when she was growing up, her artistic desires made her feel like a social outsider. "Back then, in the '80s, being a quirky artist type was not something you wanted to be," she says. Today, at her adult dance and fitness studio, she makes sure that everyone who walks in feels welcome and experiences the joy of dance and feels the transformative power of rhythmic movement. Theresa's goal is to give both her students' bodies and mind a workout.
“Dance is very intimidating for people,” says Theresa. She makes sure her dance studio Free Spirit Dance is a non-judgmental space where everyone instantly becomes part of the group. The warm studio offers registered and drop-in dance and fitness classes as well as dance coaching sessions for special events such as wedding first dances. "All my classes are designed to help people lose weight and have fun," she adds.
