From a very early age Brittney spent most of her time doing gymnastics and playing soccer.  The strength, agility, flexibility and grace acquired through these sports made the transition to dancing simple.  The musical understanding that came with her childhood participation in the school choir only made that transition easier.  Brittney found her passion for dancing at the University of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign thanks to a club called the Dancing Illini.  Unable to afford to take the number of lessons she wanted, Brittney became an officer for the club allowing her free lessons and way to become further involved.  Looking for a competitive edge and an opportunity to spend even more time dancing, Brittney and several friends enlisted the help of 2 coaches to help form a competitive dancesport team at the University.  It was the hard work and planning that went into forming this team as well as support from friends and family that inspired Brittney to teach professionally.  “Not only does teaching satisfy my desire to dance every minute of every day, but it allows me to share the passion that enriches my own life with others.”
