About

Louisa's dance journey began at the age of 3, igniting a passion that has shaped her life. Throughout middle and high

school, she was actively involved in competitive dance, which allowed her to experience the thrill and dedication required in

this dynamic field. Her time with the Austin High School Red Jackets drill team further honed her skills and deepened her

love for performance.

​

As Louisa transitioned from student to teacher, she discovered a new dimension of her passion - the joy of teaching and

nurturing young dancers. Starting as an assistant instructor, she quickly realized that dance education was her true calling.

With 10 years of experience working in the dance industry, Louisa has served in various roles including instructor, assistant

director, and director, each position deepening her commitment to dance and education.

​

Today, Louisa is thrilled about this exciting new chapter in her dance career. Together with two other incredible individuals,

Louisa is co-founding a new dance studio (Unity Dance Co.) located in Austin, TX. This venture represents the culmination of

years of experience, passion, and dreams. Louisa's goal remains unchanged: providing a space where dancers of all ages

can discover their potential, push their boundaries, and fall in love with dance just as she did. Louisa believes in the power of

personal connections and is committed to building meaningful relationships with all dancers and their families. This

approach, she feels, is crucial in helping each student reach their full potential.

​

Louisa has always loved working with children, and being able to combine this with her passion for dance truly is a dream

come true for her. She is eager to welcome dancers into this exciting new chapter, where every step, turn, and leap is infused

with joy, passion, and the spirit of collaboration.

​

Louisa is ecstatic to welcome everyone to this new dance family!

"The Unity teaching staff has been a game changer for our family of dancers! The high level of instruction and individual prescriptive coaching paired with their positive and encouraging learning environment has been the answer to so much of what we have been seeking in dance education! The staff is approachable and welcomes parent and student feedback and collaboration!"

"The instructors are all amazing! My daughter has mostly done the hip hop team with Mr. Andrew and the energy he brings to every single practice is contagious. The girls love him and his dance teams are SO good! We've been with Andrew for a few years now and love watching the progress our daughter has made with him. Truly the best instructor and team!"

My daughters attend the hip hop and musical theater class. The instructors are wonderful to work with. They are well-suited for children of all ages.

My daughter loves taking dance classes at Unity. The training and focus that she gets from the instructors have already made her a stronger and more confident dancer. She is thrilled to attend multiple days each week and feels like the classes at Unity help build the technique necessary to reach her goals for school drill team.
