Start Dancing

Hi, I'm Alyssa O'Neal

Prior to dancing, I worked in the museum and music industries. I wanted to find a way to marry this part of myself with my professional Ballroom training, so I created Art of Movement.

I am passionate about meeting and learning about wedding couples to create authentic, captivating choreography. In addition, I love helping eager social dancers rekindle their love of dance, or develop a new hobby that speaks to them and their motivations.

Nice to meet you!

We had an amazing experience with Alyssa! She was incredibly patient, creative, and kind throughout our lessons. Alyssa was highly adaptable to our beginner dance level, making the process fun and stress-free. We would recommend hiring her for anyone looking to create a memorable wedding dance!
