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 4 years old, and Darlah who is only a few months 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!

Hi everyone I am Miss Chasity! I am currently 17 years old and I am a Senior in high school.

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 about 5 days a week, but my favorite styles are Tap, Contemporary and Acro. I am eager to learn more every day, I wouldn’t rather be anywhere else. Dance Clinic has made such a huge impact on my life. I continue to show my passion and dedication by being a great role model to my studio as a dancer and teacher. I have been training to teach for the past 4 seasons and am so excited to teach my own classes this year! I love sharing my love for dance with my students and cannot wait to see you in class!
