    Hiii... I'm Dwan and I'm so excited to meet with you and have a blast learning with each other. I've been teaching since 2000 and I love the growth I've seen in my clients; gained skills in multiple dance styles, them grasping the understanding of musicality & coordination, and their comfortability in stage presence & overall built of confidence. My journey began in 6 grade at my college prep magnet school Charleston County School of The Arts; I attended this school through 12th grade. Thereafter I accepted a scholarship to Columbia College. These two schools gave me the foundation of dance history, Tech (lighting & sound), staging, instructing skills, and being versatile in a variety of dance styles. Along with professional experience in music videos, tv shows, movies, productions, and tours; I have insight on how to market yourself in the entertainment industry. I've been described as, high energy and a big bubble of fun, and my teaching style is full of dedication, patience, and positive reinforcement. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!!! Let's Dance!!!! ***ANNOUNCEMENT*** I now offer Group Dance Parties & Partner Lessons; contact me via Takelessons messenger for rates... Prices vary based on the size of the group.

    WOW!! Dwan was incredible with my 5 1/2 year old girl!! She had her dancing the entire class, was super positive and encouraging, and let my daughter make a lot of choices throughout the class. I was very impressed and pleased and can't wait until her next class!!

    Choreographer/Marketing Team Manager/Tour Manager

    Aug, 2007 - Nov, 2010

    NR Entertain Group/ 6103 Entertainment

    On and off tour for 3+ years... I learned the fundamentals of being a touring artist.... The uncomfortably of traveling all the time, lack of sleep, and multiple personalities.... I also reaped the benefits of gaining multi-tasking skills, adjusting to spontaneity quickly, and organization. Pulling dancers/promo models together and teaching stage presence in hours' time before show time....was the biggest challenge that I faced every city; until I got the swing of things.
