Our Faculty
Miss Gina Buehler, Owner
Dancing is all Miss Gina ever wanted to do.  She grew up dancing,
studying at the Fowler Dance Studio in Medford, and knew then
that she wanted to be around dance forever.  This naturally led
her to teaching, which she has been doing since 1989.  When
asked what she loves about teaching, the answer is everything:
the kids, the choreography—everything!  Miss Gina is a graduate of Dance Teachers’ Club of Boston’s teacher training course, a
member of Dance Teachers’ Club of Boston, and Dance
Masters.  She acquired The Dance Works studio in 2001 and
since then her students have won hundreds of gold medals and
other awards at numerous dance competitions.
Miss Paula Callahan
Miss Paula has danced since she was 3 years old, but realized early on that she would rather share that love of dance through
teaching than anything else.  After 38 years of teaching dance,
she continues to get great enjoyment out of watching students
develop through their love of dance.  She began her training as a
child at Mary Jane's School of Dance in Methuen, MA, and has
attended classes and workshops in many cities across the
country including Boston, New York, Buffalo, and Chicago.  She is
a graduate of the Dance Teachers’ Club of Boston's teacher
training school and a member of their organization. (MORE)

Miss Tanya Lumb
As long as she can remember Miss Tanya wanted to become a dance teacher. The teachers she had growing up had such an influence on her life that she wanted to share that feeling with her students. She began as an assistant teacher, which helped cement the desire to become a dance teacher in full. She literally grew up at The Dance Works, studying dance from the time she was three. During years of competitive dance she won numerous gold and silver medals, and is still going strong today. She trained and certified with Dance Teachers’ Club of Boston and has been teaching dance for five years. She is thrilled that not only can share her love and passion for dance with her students, but can help them grow as people.

A former Miss Dance of America, Miss Heather has danced in New York at the Apollo Theater, San Francisco, Florida, and Boston in industrial shows for Nike, Addidas, the Boston Celtics, the Red Sox, Cosmopolitan Magazine, and the Kiss 108FM concert.
