Welcome
Let’s dance.
I’m excited to introduce this Inside Out cohort — a training experience that transforms dancers not just technically, but holistically. With over 20 years on the world’s biggest stages as a professional ballroom and Latin dancer, Emmy-nominated choreographer, and coach, I bring a blend of sharp technique, somatic practices, and neuroscience-backed confidence tools to every session.
This group gives me the chance to work closely with talented dancers who are passionate about expanding their foundation and elevating their ballroom technique. Together, we’ll focus on executing with excellence, refining strong technique, and developing authentic style. Because success in dance isn’t only about the steps — it’s equally about resilience, mindset, and presence. This program is designed to strengthen both, helping you step into your artistry with freedom, confidence, and joy.

Chelsie has helped me regain my confidence and love for dance. Her teaching style strikes the perfect balance between patience, encouragement and challenging in a very positive way, making every session enjoyable and engaging.

Chelsie's early training with some of the best coaches in the world is an incredible benefit to anyone wanting to learn correct technique. She's charasmatic and fun and knows how to get the best out of anyone training with her. As a bonus she's able to teach and model performance skills which she displayed her expertise on national television for years.

Chelsie's background speaks for itself, What surprised me is how patient and understanding she is as a teacher. She is a master at her craft and breaks down the steps and technique into digestible steps with style. I couldn't recommend her enough.
