Dance With Miss Anna was started in 2016 and is led by Miss Anna, the founder and teacher. The program’s mission is “Helping children blossom with joyful confidence in a playful, welcoming environment that fosters a lifelong love of dance.” Core values are stated as: dance ENJOY, socialization ENCOURAGE, confidence BUILD, inclusive BE, joy INSPIRE, and it is described in parent testimonials as “like dancing with Mary Poppins” and “nothing short of a Disney Princess experience.”

Miss Anna has taught at many studios and has taught ballet to young children in studios in San Francisco and the East Bay, as well as kids' cheer camps in Sonoma. She took ballet lessons as a child, including ballet classes from a teacher at her in-home studio in Michigan, danced with Star Dance Studio, joined the high school dance team McNeil Majestics where she became an officer and helped choreograph the team’s award-winning competition routines, auditioned for the “World Famous Kilgore College Rangerettes,” and performed with the Rangerettes in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Cotton Bowl. She joined Kirstin William's hip hop dance group “Strong Pulse” and performed with Jeanette Male in “Within the Circle.”

Miss Anna auditioned for the Oakland Raiderettes, became a Raiderette captain, and was awarded “Rookie of the Year,” “Raiderette of the Year,” and the Wanetta Horton Memorial Award for most inspirational Raiderette, voted by her teammates. As a Raiderette, she cheered in the Euro Bowl in Austria, danced in the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, and traveled to Japan to perform for troops.

Parent testimonials describe Miss Anna’s toddler ballet class as “one of the most joyous, uplifting, and absolutely adorable experiences,” and say she is “warm, welcoming, and full of wonder” and “a truly gifted, passionate teacher with boundless energy and endless patience.” Parents report that her classes include social-emotional curriculum, strength, balance, and coordination-building, and that she teaches little ones how to be patient, take turns, and participate in a class. One parent shares that a child with gross motor delays “mastered all of her physical therapy goals” after a few months of classes, and another describes a 1st birthday dance class with a final performance with “Ballerina Bear” where all 20 kids participated. Testimonials also note her use of surprises, upbeat music, singing, and props, and say that her former experience as a Raiderette cheerleader and her “bubbly personality” are part of what their children enjoy.
