Denise Choff,
Instructor
With the dream of her daughter becoming a Rockette, Denise was enrolled in
dance at the age of five by her mother. Radio City would not be an option
since Denise only grew to 5'1", but her love of dance flourished. After
becoming a mother of 2 daughters, Denise wanted to get back into shape
through dancing. After taking her first Zumba class, Denise knew she
found a new dance passion. Through Zumba, she has found a way to
strengthen her body and mind, and has made lifelong friends. Denise is
excited to be a part of Kathryn Barnett School of Dance family. |
