Miss Maryssa is an Instructor and Choreographer with EDC. She has enjoyed dancing since she was very young and has learned many lessons throughout those years. The most useful thing she’s learned is that no matter what size, age, or skill level, our passion is the same and we’re all beautiful in every way; we get to use our talent to light up our own personal stages everyday.
Miss Maryssa’s favorite performance memory was all the intensive backstage stretching because she loves to stretch!
Outside of dance, Miss Maryssa hopes to one day travel to Calabria, Italy or watch a ballet in the Sydney Opera House.
Miss Maryssa’s goal as a teacher is for every dancer to see the beauty in this art and to be able to dance to their fullest potential.
