The Abby Bella Story

For years, Teresa Paul Daie looked for a place to take dance classes and couldn’t find the right dance studio. She danced ballet as a child and loved dancing disco throughout college but, as an adult, missed the high she had experienced through dancing.

Teresa opened Abby Bella Dance Studio to give adults – of all fitness levels – a place to dance and experience the joy she always felt while dancing.  She hadn’t intended to become a dance instructor herself, but went on to become certified to teach Zumba and continues to take classes from all of the amazing teachers at Abby Bella.

Meet the Team!

The driving force behind what we do at Abby Bella is the powerful, positive effect dance has on people’s lives. Our passion lies in passing on the physical, emotional and social benefits of dance to anyone that wants to feel great!  We invite you to get to know the team that has brought you Abby Bella:
