BeMoved® & Gentle Bemoved® Classes
for ALL movement abilities.
Yup, that's me in the front, arms out, in drag, performing Tap in Yavapai College's "Hello Dolly" with Toni Tennille, Nov. 2022. Maintaining my Musical Theatre chops, while supporting the cast I trained weekly in Tap & Ballet choreography Jan. - Nov. 2022. I was asked by choreographers Pam Cannedy & Stepan Oleksyn to choreograph two sections, including one three times/nights of the show due to cast members not able to perform a few shows.

Hi Mary, I would love to get back to Gentle Bemoved. Can you try for any locations in C.V. again? Hope you’re well and happy! Sherry Brown
I’ve been dancing 23 years as an amateur, and I have been super impressed by Mary’s dance and instruction. The quality is only matched by the fun.
