Ostrom joins Sandy Johnson School of Dance

Sandy Johnson's School of Dance is excited to announce the addition of Teresa Ostrom to the studio faculty. Mrs. Ostrom's  high energy and enthusiasm, along with her love of dance and working with young dancers will add to the studio's reputation.  Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Ostrom both consider dance as an Athletic Art Form, not a reality show or sporting event. Sending positive messages to the young dancers with proper technique is the priority.  Mrs. Ostrom began dancing when she was three years old.  Her mother enrolled her in dance classes to help her "blow off some steam".  She did not know it would turn into her first love.  She has danced at Carol Thompson's School of Dance which transitioned into the Huntingdon Dance Academy.  She studied Ballet (Pointe), Modern, Tap, Jazz and Hip Hop.  She has participated in workshops throughout Pennsylvania and New York.  She has studied under Mia Michaels, Wade Robinson and Chris Judd.  Throughout the years she has participated in Penn State's Dance Camp on the University Park Campus.  Mrs. Ostrom starting teaching Hip Hop/Jazz at the Huntingdon Dance Academy at the age of 16.  After graduating high school she went on to further her education at Lock Haven University.  She received a Social Work degree along with a minor in Dance (Choreography, History and Therapy).  She was the Vice-President and later President of the Modern Dance Company and then Vice-President, Dance Consort on Campus.  After being married, she has moved to this area to be with her husband and young son.  Mrs. Ostrom is excited to share her talents with students in this area.  Pam Fischer Photo
