DANCE CENTER OF SEVERNA PARK INSTRUCTORS
Our highly credentialed staff has years of experience to help our dancers learn proper technique while gaining self-confidence. Most of our teachers grew up locally and trained under the artistic vision of Carter School of Dance founder Mary V. Carter, whose passion for excellence is ingrained in our program today, under the expert direction of Kellie Greer.
Our instructors use their years of training and passion for dance to focus on each student's development and potential. Please learn a bit about our leadership here:
