​​Artistic Director, Founder & Lead Instructor

Amy Torseth Teelin attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, majoring in dance. She opened her first studio, Dance Unlimited, in Baraboo, Wi in 1989. In addition to teaching privately, she has a strong personal commitment to promoting creative self-expression through choreographing for the University of Wisconsin-Baraboo/Sauk County, Baraboo Theater Guild, and Baraboo High School musical and Pops Concert productions for over two decades.

With over 35 years of experience, she still loves teaching, and prides herself on providing her students a safe, nurturing, and fun environment - a quality dance experience where you "take your art seriously, but not yourself."
