“But it’s the choreography that nails it—the dancers really commit to the bit, with their sheer determination to turn this indie slop into show biz.”
Loosening Up with Angela Trimbur
“There is a freshness to the way she teaches; an entirely nonjudgmental celebration of the way it feels to move collectively. Many people drive all the way from upstate to take a class, many people have never danced before in their life and absolutely everyone feels like an old friend.

Sharing her movement and choreography has brought many together including her virtual dance offerings during quarantine which attracted hundreds of thousands across the globe.
