JDC All Star/Company Instructor​

​

Maryellen spent 20 years competing in dance, earning four national titles and an ICU World Championship along the way. A proud alum of the Hofstra Dance Team (2020–2024), she continues to share her love of dance through coaching and mentorship.

​

She says, “Dance has been a constant in my life since I was three years old. It has shaped who I am—teaching me discipline, resilience, and the power of hard work. It’s pushed me to go beyond my limits, fight for what I want, and above all, discover what it means to truly love what you do.”

​We are proud to have her as a part of the JDC team.
