Deborah Nash has been teaching ballroom throughout Rhode Island for the last fifteen years. She started ballroom dancing at the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Cranston and went on to take teacher training at Paris Academy in Taunton Massachusetts.

In 1998, she added jazz, ballet, modern and bodywork to her dance studies, and in that same year, created riDance.com (http://www.riDance.com), a dance website for the entire RI dance community - teachers, students, audiences & performers in all dance forms.

Currently she teaches ballroom and swing in Wickford, South Kingstown, Narragansett and Exeter. In Westerly, she teaches ballroom and swing for Westerly Community Education. She believes that adults should dance for happiness and sanity.
