Meet the instructors—aKA, your vacation planners
Our instructors are the curators of your Oasis experience. Although our backgrounds are diverse, our goal in each class is the same: to fervently support our clients in the creation of their You Moments. We are here not just to teach dance, but to celebrate you, exactly as you are. We love planning your mini vacations!
Nina: Instructor
Meet Nina, your hip-hop queen. When you vacation with Nina, expect a you can expect a cardio party. She focuses on fast-paced, repetitive cardio that is still gentle on joints as it gets your heart pumping. By day, Nina is a top-rated physical therapist in the area, so she’s intimately familiar with tailoring exercises to individual needs. She brings the knowledge, the compassion and the supportive vibes Your Oasis thrives on to every class. If you want your You Moment to include breaking a sweat and having a blast, sail away with Nina.
Kelly: Lead Instructor, Founder and Owner
Meet Kelly, your owner, founder and lead vacation planner. Kelly danced through much of her youth, but took a long hiatus through high school and college as she focused on school and other creative pursuits. When she sought reentry into the dance world post-college for fun and exercise, she found it difficult to find adult dance classes that were truly suitable for all fitness levels. She took it upon herself to fill that gap, and thus created Your Oasis Dance Studios. Kelly’s philosophy is that dance is a celebration of your capabilities, whatever they are. You don’t have to have a decade of professional ballet training or a perfect split. As long as you desire to show up, move your body and prioritize your You Moments, Kelly wants you to vacation with us! Expect her to provide sassy choreography, lots of hair whips and constant cheering.
Fatima: Lead Instructor
Meet Fatima, your co-lead vacation planner. Fatima is a therapist by day and a dancing beauty by night. Specializing in slow, low-impact lyrical, she curates the perfect environment for those who want their You Moments to be a relaxing break from their day-to-day grind. Fatima loves to incorporate gentle movements into her routines that can be great for people who are trying to ease back into fitness, whether they’re healing from an injury, recovering from illness or anything in between. A true empath because of her profession, Fatima ensures that you can expect understanding, support and calming energy on your mini vacations with her.
Falon: Instructor
Meet Falon, your pop culture princess. Falon is our youngest instructor, and she definitely has her finger on the dance trend pulse. She loves to teach routines inspired by trending line dances, fun TikTok partner and group sequences and more. Being on vacation with Falon is like being at a resort with all the latest entertainment. Expect to learn fun new moves and, if you so desire, take cute videos for your socials. Falon believes that dance is meant to bring people together, and we agree. Come share your You Moments with your besties and Falon.
