By Your Side is the best dance studio. The teachers are fantastic dancers and excellent instructors. They strive for excellence, precision, and elegance, and do so with great encouragement and motivation. I always leave dance class feeling wonderful!

We worked with Laura to choreograph our wedding dance. We started out with zero moves and no confidence but after four sessions we were tearing up the floor and having the time our lives.

MY STORY

Deborah Fields Perez

Deborah and Her Mother

We named our dance studio “By Your Side” because dance, like love, is always there for you.

I wasnโ€™t always the confident woman running a dance studio. As a shy and often sad child, I found comfort in music โ€” my family was full of musicians, and our home was always alive with sound.

When I started dancing, something changed. I didnโ€™t need words to express myself, and the movement lifted my spirits. Dance became my therapy, my confidence, and my connection to others.
