Clare Quigley Brown loves to dance and teach dance more than anything else in the world! She began dancing at the age of three and one of her favorite dance memories was the honor of being the youngest dancer at her studio ever selected to perform the role of Clara in The Nutcracker.
“Miss Clare” studied classical, Russian Style Ballet under professional dancers from both the Moscow Classical Ballet and Pennsylvania Ballet Companies and has danced in numerous ballet productions, including Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, The Four Seasons, and Tarantella, with several studios in the Philadelphia area.
Brown has been privileged to study with renowned instructors Chebar Williams, Tyce Diorio, Sheila Barker, Brian Friedman and Nick Florez, as well as others from Koresh Dance Company in Philadelphia and Broadway Dance Center in NYC.
She has taught dance in the area for over a decade and while her extensive training is in classical Ballet, she has also studied and enjoys working with Modern and Lyrical styles of dance. Brown is also a Hatha yoga instructor, trained in the Anusara model of yoga and holds a Masters of Science in Education.
In addition to teaching at Addicted 2 Dance, Brown currently teaches yoga classes locally and works at Arcadia University as Assistant Director for Individualized Majors.
