Roxanne “Roxy” Gage|40+ years as a dance educator, choreographer, performer & mentor. Creating, empowering & sharing the joy of dance across Texas.

Roxy believes strong dance training and discipline are important. She encourages students to explore how their bodies work, building an understanding of anatomy and muscular engagement that informs how they move. At the same time, Roxy’s passion for teaching goes far beyond technique. She believes teaching dance is not one-size-fits-all. A strong dance education begins with understanding students’ backgrounds and dance experiences, building relationships, and creating an environment where they feel valued and respected. Roxy recognizes that every student learns differently and brings their own strengths, challenges, learning styles, and goals into the classroom. She adapts her approach so that her teaching connects with individuals and creates a flexible, responsive environment where students can ask questions, make mistakes, take risks, and learn from the process. She wants students to recognize their strengths and areas for growth while developing critical-thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and leadership skills. Through mentorship, discipline, and encouragement, she helps them trust themselves, find their individual voice as dancers and choreographers, and become confident leaders.
