Miss Tabitha

Studio Owner/Director

Hi my name is Ms.Tabitha and I am the proud Owner of Dance Clinic. I started DC in 2014 at the age of 25, knowing that this career path was part of my life's purpose. With passion, commitment, and drive I have built a business with strong morals making it a safe, & positive environment for children to flourish and grow as individuals. Dance molds children to be strong, independent, & confident. They gain life skills like memory training, time management, sportsmanship and so much more. I was awarded South Coast Emerging Leader in 2018 and Faces of New Bedford in 2019. I am a strong female activist and I empower all young women to become strong leaders and to find their passion. I am a mom to two beautiful little girls named Declynn, who is 5 years old, and Darlah who is 1 year old. You will find me in the classroom teaching your child and behind the scenes running the business. With 30 years of dance experience in all styles, and levels of dance, I promise to provide the highest quality of training and a fun memorable experience for you and your family. Thank you for choosing DC and allowing us to be a part of your life.

Miss Shana

Office Manager

Hello! I’m Ms. Shana, and you can always find me at the reception here at Dance Clinic, where I serve as your office manager. Since joining the studio in 2015, I have played a crucial role in ensuring that everything operates smoothly, allowing our dancers to excel and our parents to feel at ease. With a background in office administration, management, and customer service, I bring a deep passion for supporting both our students and their families. I am dedicated to cultivating a positive and welcoming environment for everyone who enters our doors. I truly cherish my role, especially the opportunity to meet new families and children each dance season and to witness their growth into young adults. It is rewarding to see them evolve from toddlers into high school students. My own passion for dance ignited at the age of two, and I spent my formative years dancing at I’ve Got Rhythm Dance Studio in Dartmouth. Dance Clinic feels like my second home and family. I have a wonderful nine-year-old daughter named Leylah, who loves to help out before her classes; you will often see her leaping around the studio. I love to spend time with family and friends. I firmly believe that dance has the power to transform lives and foster personal growth. I am here to support and guide you on your child's dance journey.I look forward to meeting your family!

Miss Taylor

Dance Instructor

Hi, my name is Miss Taylor and this is my fifth year teaching at Dance Clinic! I have been dancing since I was 4 years old and began assistant teaching at 13 years old. I have always loved competing and dedicating my time to my craft. Dance was never just an extra-curricular for me, it was always something that drove me. I was on my college dance teams at both colleges that I attended. I have a Bachelor's Degree in business management and work in finance during the day. I teach a variety of classes and styles including acrobats, contemporary, ballet, jazz, lyrical, improv, hip-hop and technique. I am an Acrobatic Arts certified teacher so you will find me teaching our advanced acrobat classes here. I have been awarded numerous choreography awards, as well as regional and national championships and titles. I believe in creating artistry in each dance and finding a purpose to help dancers move their audience and tell a story. I am also a judge and adjudicator for dance competitions. I get the opportunity to judge and teach master classes and conventions. Dance teaches discipline, time management, dedication, social skills, the importance of individuality, responsibility, and confidence. It is a positive outlet of self expression for all ages and helps create poised, graceful and passionate people. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to teach the next generation of dancers. I can’t wait to see you all in class! I look forward for another year of growth and fun!

Miss Madison A

Hi, my name is Miss. Madison. I have danced at Dance Clinic since I was 8 years old. I have always had a passion for dance and truly believe it has helped me in so many aspects of life. Dance has allowed me to see the world in so many different perspectives. I started assisting dance classes at 13 years old and began leading classes at 16 years old. This will be my fourth year leading the toddler & preschool classes at Dance Clinic! I love working with the younger generation of kids. Nothing makes me happier than guiding them through life at such an important age! I graduated from Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School studying Legal & Protective Services as well as finishing my senior year in the EMT program. I have taken & passed the first part of the NREMT exam & hope to be moving on to the second & final part in order to become a licensed EMT in the state of Massachusetts. In the long run I would love to become a Massachusetts State Trooper. I have a passion for helping people and I have a firm belief that dance has helped me achieve all of these accomplishments & will continue to help me achieve any future successes. I have learned independence, perseverance, respect & commitment due to dance. I will forever carry these tools with me throughout life. I am so thankful and excited to have this opportunity to get to know all of you! I cannot wait to be apart of Season 12 with all of you and I cannot wait to see what this new season has to offer!

Hi everyone! My name is Miss Marianna! This is my first year teaching at Dance Clinic and I couldn’t be more excited. I started dancing at age 6, and haven’t stopped since.

Being a teacher is extremely fulfilling and I enjoy watching each and every child find themselves through movement. I cannot wait to meet you all and make so many memories this year!

Miss Chasity

Dance Instructor

Hi everyone I am Miss Chasity! I have been dancing at Dance Clinic since the day the doors first opened. I am now an Alumni and am a freshman on Endicott College's Dance Team. I have always taken dedication to my sport very seriously. Whenever I am home from school, you will find me at the studio. This studio is my second home. When I was dancing for Dance Clinic I was awarded Dancin' in the Streets Regional Teen Title Winner 2023, DECA Dance Regional Senior Title Winner in 2024, DECA Dance National Senior Title Winner in 2024, Sheer Elite's Senior Vickie Sheer Award for 2025 and many scholarships and overalls. I have had the opportunity to constantly continue my dance training with my scholarship opportunities. Even in college, I compete year round and continue finding new styles of dance to explore. Dance has taught me so many helpful life lessons including resilience, how to work with others and how to also work on my own. I train in all styles of dance but my favorite styles will always be Tap, Contemporary and Acro. Dance Clinic has made such an incredible impact on my life. I could not imagine a studio that I would have rather grown up in. I continue to show my passion and love for Dance Clinic by being a great role model to my studio, but now in the role of a teacher. Last year was my first time being able to teach independently and it changed my life! I love sharing my love for dance with my students and cannot wait to see you in class!
