Terri's love of dancing started at the age of four when she began her dance training with tap, jazz, acrobats, and ballet. She spent many years showcasing her talents in recitals, local events, Whiting Auditorium, and at the Cheasaning Showboat, just to name a few. She was captured many times in local newspapers and was even dubbed "the little charmer in the middle" because of her bright smile and enthusiasm about dancing.  Terri trained to become a Ballroom,Swing, and Latin dance instructor for a local Arthur Murray Dance studio and participated in showcases and training events. A few years later she became an independent instructor and opened her own Professional Dance Studio in Flint. Student choreography started expanding into showcase performances, which lead into pro-am competitions with her students always placing 1st and 2nd and Terri herself has won some Top Teacher Awards.  Terri is an independent instructor who is skilled at dancing and professionally trained at teaching many styles of dance. She has been invited by several local colleges and dance studio's to choreograph routines and opening dance shows.
