Coaches

We are Makenzie and Eleni! We are lifelong friends bound by a mutual love for dance and a passion for community service. Our joint dance journey began over a decade ago, when we first started dancing together at Tippy Toes School of Dance. We embarked on our lifelong dedication to movement, friendship, and shared purpose.


Our shared journey led us to become coordinators and coaches of the Baxter YMCA’s dancing program. We brought our unique perspectives to create a dynamic and inclusive learning environment for all aspiring dancers. Through our strong community ties, we facilitated multiple performances for our students and their communities!


As we look to our future, we are thrilled to continue our teaching journey together once more. We are reminded that our shared passion can have a meaningful impact on shaping the world around us!
