Welcome to U&ME Dance

Owner/Executive Director

My real social life started when I began taking dance lessons in April 1995. That’s when I began buying fun dancing clothes, lots of fancy shoes and going out with people who enjoyed having fun! I was a student of dance for 4 years so I know what it’s like to be a student in a dance studio. I retired from Lucent Technologies after working for 30 years! I had several jobs during that time from Operator to Business Manager when I retired. It was exciting but also very demanding work and retirement brought a mixture of both relaxation and worry. I wasn’t really ready to retire but couldn’t pass up Lucent’s early retirement offer. When Mary asked me to help her start U&ME Dance, I was both excited and nervous. I don’t see myself as a risk taker and opening a Ballroom Dance Studio has got to be one of the biggest business risks there is. It’s been a very rewarding experience and I’m very proud of my family for the way they conduct themselves in the studio. Together we have created a wonderful place for people of all ages and levels of dance. I have seen people come together and get married and others who have found a home away from home. I truly believe we have changed the lives of many people and for that this whole adventure has been worth the effort!
