Jackaline’s School of Dance – Home of Saco Sensation Cloggers and Dynamix.


Both studios were based in Maine and were prominent in the New England Communities. The clogging teams thrived at competition often taking home several 1st place trophies. But the most important trophy, Spirit Award, was taken home three times by the dancers at Saco Sensation Cloggers. Jackie’s philosophy encourages unity with individuality and motivation creating one team with the goal of evolution in dance!

 

SlapStep Studios is founded on this same philosophy – everyone is welcome here! For more information please feel free to email [email protected] or give me a call at 970-315-CLOG.

Marlene Cavanagh

Marlene has an extensive background in both tap and jazz. She's danced in New York, Los Angeles and Colorado. She brings a passion for dance and mastering a variety of dance forms! 

Marlene Cavanagh

Despite the different paths my life has taken, dancing has been my constant!  It has inspired and grounded me, since I slipped on my first ballet slippers at five.

In New York City, I was fortunate to study with Fosse great Anne Reinking, and jazz and tap master Billy Siegenfeld.

In Los Angeles, while pursuing a communications and publicity career, I made sure to get my jazz and tap classes in and studied with Richard Kuller.  His style harkens from “Old Hollywood” legends, like Donald O’Connor.

Flash forward to my current life in Colorado, where I study with Broadway and 42nd Street veteran, Karen Kleber.

I’ve also had the privilege of participating in the Big Apple Tap Festival, and learning rhythm tap from masters Barbara Duffy, Brenda Buffalino and Dianne Walker.

I look forward to sharing my lifetime love of dance with you!

Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Minnesota into her teen years. She began ballet
training at this time as well, and fell in love especially with lyrical and
modern during her highschool and college years. She has taught ballet,
Irish dance, and lyrical, and her passion is to keep people moving and
caring for their bodies. She is a massage therapist by day and works
specifically with reflex integration, which is all about improving the
body’s ability to be connected to the brain and to move with ease and
integrity. She loves being a part of the Slapstep Studios family and is
honored to teach alongside the team, and looks forward to seeing you in
class soon! Outside of dancing, Bonnie enjoys spending time with her
toddler, hiking and being in the mountains, reading fiction and nerding out
about optimizing human health.

Brittani Harrington

Hi friends! I'm Brittani and I've been practicing yoga for 5 years. My goal is to help you reconnect with the intelligence of your own body so you can feel calmer and more present in your own lives!

 

When we are able to feel calm and more connected to ourselves, we have more capacity and potential to create meaningful change in our lives, our work, and the world around us! I believe this work is vital for us to feel happier, calmer, and more alive! 

 

I like to structure my classes to my students and what you need- it's your class! I specialize in Power Flow classes and Restorative classes, it would be an honor to practice with you!
