Directors
We created a place for dance dreams to take flight!
Our partnership began years ago as dancers for the Philadelphia Sixers and later expanded to high school dance teams as choreographer and coach.
We created Monarch in 2014 with a commitment to building a dance school that would offer quality classes in a positive environment.
We stand on the shoulders of the teachers who inspired us during our extensive dance training at some of the most prestigious dance schools in the Chicago and Philadelphia areas including; Academy of Movement & Art, University of the Arts, Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet, Pennsylvania Ballet, Philadanco and Freedom Theater.
As a team we are motivated by our love of dance and the joy we gain from sharing our knowledge and experience with young dancers each day.
Our Community
At Monarch School of Dance, we believe that dance is a powerful tool for building community and bringing people together. We are proud to be a part of the local Collingswood community, and we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all of our students and their families.
Quality classes in a positive environment.
