Finding Inspiration in Every Dance
Arkadi (Arko) Beybutyan
Founder/Dance Instructor
I am originally from Yerevan, Armenia where I started dancing at the age of 7. My passion for dancing started with traditional Armenian dance then broadened to a love of Latin dance at the age of 12. Under the supervision of renowned Armenian dance teachers, I was able to broaden my skills and decided to further my studies at the Armenian State Pedagogical University. I graduated at the age of 22 with a Bachelor of Arts in Dancing Art.
In Armenia I performed on 'Dancing with the Stars', 'So You Think You Can Dance' and danced on numerous stages in many venues as a professional dancer, including for audiences numbering in the several thousands.
I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with both children and adults who inspire me to become a better dancer and teacher every day.

Dance Instructor
Originally from Maryland, she found her love of dance at the age of 5 following along to the choreography in Singin’ in the Rain and firmly insisting she was Gene Kelly. She honed her teaching skills leading Outdoor Education trips along the Appalachian Trail and assisting with ballroom lessons at her alma mater Boston University. She has been a competitive ballroom dancer on the collegiate circuit since 2017, specializing in all four styles. When not on the competition floor, she spends her time social dancing in swing, salsa and bachata. She believes strongly in the grounding power of dance, and prides herself on blending focus and fun in both her personal and professional practice.
