Maggie Martin

My name is Maggie Martin. I am primarily a hiphop instructor, among teaching some other styles such as Heels technique and dabbling in contemporary. I did not have the normal trajectory of most dancers who start as soon as they can walk. However, I’m proof that if you have passion and drive you can create the life that lights your soul on fire. For me it’s not only dancing but teaching! I started dancing by learning all the foundations of ballet, jazz, contemporary and hiphop. From there my love for hiphop grew. I’ve taught from ages 6-60, even though a lady never tells her age.

I have had the privilege to work with Mint Entertainment’s Dance Company the last 2 years. Dance with the EXPO performance group at UV Soul, and choreograph for dance shows and pep rally’s at Crescent Heights High school. Those have all played a massive part in my freestyle abilities, the growth of my teaching & dance skills. I feel I was put on this earth to inspire, motivate and empower my fellow dancers. My goal is to impact my dancers by surrounding them with a positive and safe place to move their bodies and truly find themselves in the process.

Q & A with Maggie:

What inspires you - Seeing other people’s highest  potential and being able to bring out their best qualities! 

What song moves you - Sacrifices By J Cole 

What do you love about your job - Obviously I love to dance, but being a dance teacher is so much more than teaching steps. What I love most is the connection and influence that comes with teaching, especially leading youth. Although I may only see them once a week, my passion is to leave them with life long positive mindsets. I love seeing someone’s confidence grow within themselves as we build a strong foundation for them!
