Mrs. Elizabeth Zamer (left) - Owner, Artistic Director, and Instructor

Twinkle Toes has been Mrs. Elizabeth's passion for the last ten years, but she has had dance in her bones before she was even born! Graduating summa cum laude from Old Dominion University as the Outstanding Graduate in both dance and biology, she performed professionally with Second Wind Dance Company, dancers and mina estrada, and with Amanda Kinzer throughout the country. Her choreography has been featured in Disney World, New York City, and local choreographers' showcases, and has won numerous regional and national awards. Her favorite role, though, is as a mentor to her darling students.
