Pat was born in Indiana and started dancing when she was just four years old. Her dance history began in India and then moved to Michigan, where she founded her own dance studio as a young adult. She’s had dance instruction in tap, ballet, jazz, acrobatics, and clogging. She taught at dance studios in Michigan, and also taught dance to adults at the college level until moving to Florida in 1979. She was very active in gymnastics as her daughters also competed, and became a certified gymnastics judge. Pat then returned to school and earned her Bachelors in Adult Education in the field of Exercise Physiology from the University of South Florida. She is proud to have taken classes with such great names as Buster Cooper and Al Gilbert and more recently has been instructed by well known Master teachers Avi Miller, and Ofer Ben, Dianne walker, Germaine Salsberg, and Jay Fagan. Pat loves children and believes that dance should be a combination of fun and discipline to make the best experience possible. Miss Pat is thrilled to be on faculty at Fusion Dance Company, and taught at Dance Evolutions for ten years.
