My name is Denise Epp and I own ABCDance, as well as teach some of the classes.
I seriously think that my job is the best job in the world. I love that I have a job that incorporated my two favorite things, dance and kids. I could not ask for more!
I have been married for 11 years and have a son that is 5 years old and a daughter that is 4 years old.
When I was 7 years old, my mom forced me to take dance classes. I was EXTREMELY shy and did not want to go, so my mom promised I only had to try it for 2 months and then I could quit. I never quit and 26 years later I still love every minute I get to dance.
Dance has brought so much to my life that I feel privileged to take part instilling that same joy, fun, confidence and talent to my students.
I have experience in Mexican dancing, tap, jazz, ballet, drill team (high school and college), hip-hop and Irish.
Ms. Tonesha - teacher (Arlington / Grand Prairie)
I presently attend Tarrant County College where I am majoring in communications. There, I participate as an officer of Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society for Two-year College Students. I also serve as a peer advisor at TCC.
I have been dancing since I could stand. Prior to ABCDance, I performed with my high school drill team as lieutenant and also choreographed for the Pleasant Praise Dancers of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Dallas. I have been working with children for 4 years and I truly enjoy the treat of teaching the discipline of dance. I look forward to working with you and your children and trust we will have a great year.
Ms. Holly - teacher (Mid Cities and Fort Worth)
Ms. Holly has an inconceivable love for dance. She graduated in 2003 from Haltom High School where she performed with the Varsity Colorguard her freshman and sophomore year and became a Haltom Highstepper and Elite Team member her junior and senior year. Ms. Holly is currently attending Texas A&M college and is looking forward to becoming a drill team instructor someday.
