Amber Smith~ Owner/Director
Amber has been the owner/director of Dance Spirit for 5 years. She is the mother of Piper (3 yr) and Zachary (3 months) and the wife of Levi. Amber grew up dancing in Webster City from the age of 3. Starting at Mary Helen's school of dance and on to the Dance Connection at the age of 8. Her love of dance started early and she never really grew out of it! She started to help teach at the Dance Connection in High School and started adding in her own choreography as well. After High School she went on to the University of Iowa's Dance Forum where she got her teaching certificate in Dance. She went on to teach tumbling at the Eagle Grove Medical and Rehablilitation Center and also at the Cedar Falls Recreation Center. During that time she was also working with a few classes at the Dance Connection as well. After that she wanted a change of scenery and moved to Phoenix, Arizona where she worked at Lifetime Fitness, working with the members. It was a nice break for her, amazing winter weather =), but it was there that she realized that she wanted to go back to the mid-west and open her own studio. In 2005-06 she started teaching aerobics and pilates at the Steamboat Rock Schoolhouse and in 2006 her dream came true when she started her own dance studio in Steamboat Rock! My goal is for the kids to have a positive dance experience....to learn the art of dance, and have FUN doing it!!
