Meet Deanna
Deanna Joy brings out the dancer in everyone—combining responsive techniques with a deep focus on connection, confidence, and joy.
You probably already dance—maybe in your kitchen, your bedroom, or when no one’s watching. Our mission is simple: to get us all dancing together.
We’ve created a space where you’re free to test things out, make mistakes, and grow into the dancer you were meant to be.
If there’s music playing and it moves you, then you’re a dancer my friend! We can’t wait to get to know you.
Deanna makes every class a fun, invigorating, and uplifting experience. I greatly appreciate the sense of humor that she weaves into her instruction. She is skilled at meeting students exactly where they are and giving them the next accessible step without being overwhelming. The social dances are a phenomenal vibe. Great sound, music selection, and lighting all contribute to an immersive, memorable experience.

It’s hard to find strong enough language to recommend the classes at Joy in Motion. Deanna, a teacher by profession, takes immeasurable care to provide classes that are thorough, fun and expansive…She goes above and beyond to inspire her students with her love of dance and the human spirit. Her classes are unusual in that they are a great fit BOTH for beginners who are nervous about feeling awkward…AND for more experienced dancers who are looking for opportunities for growth…If you have ever considered taking dance classes, this is the place to start!

Deanna is a gem of a human and is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about making WCS accessible and welcoming for all who want to give it a go…
Deanna has a gift for not just explaining what to do and when, but breaking down, in easy to understand ways, the mechanics and logistics of HOW to move your body to achieve the goal… I really can’t say enough good things about this human or her classes. They are such a highlight of my week every time I go and I always leave excited for more.

Private Lessons

Deanna designs each session around your goals, interests, and pace, so you can build confidence and skill in a way that feels natural and fun.
