Meet the Founder

Stephanie Meleounis

Stephanie (formerly McHugh) grew up in Manchester, CT and started dancing at age three, studying ballet, jazz, lyrical, acrobatics and tap. Tap was where she excelled — she moved into advanced classes young and took her first master class with Savion Glover in 1998.

She earned a BA in Dance from Dean College, studying with Bob Thomas, Jill Silverman, Naillah Bellinger and guest artists including Derrick Grant, Josh Hilberman and AC Ciulla. She went on to dance with a Boston-based modern company, choreograph Dean College’s fall musicals, and teach across Connecticut — winning countless awards for choreography, entertainment, tap technique and musicality.

After years of balancing dance with a full-time career at Travelers, Stephanie made dance her full-time calling. “One of the best joys in teaching is seeing your students accomplish their goals, conquer their fears and learn to be comfortable with who they are.”
