DanceTrance Gainesville
Welcome to the other side of fitness! If you are looking for a new and exciting workout you have found it! Dance Trance was created in 1986 by Jay & Beth Handline. Presently, Dance Trance locations are rapidly popping up around the globe via our Dance Trance License and Certification program. Jay & Beth presently teach Dance Trance classes at the Jacksonville, Florida location. Their program is unique because all studios share and maintain the same choreography. This keeps the music and combinations fresh and alive at each studio. At all locations each class is packed and full of energy because of the variety and music selection this tight network offers. We appreciate your interest in our unique program, and we hope you enjoy your experience.

Instructor Bios:

Mary Hencher  Director
Mary has been addicted to Dance Trance since January 2006 when she took a DT Intro class just to see what it was like. She immediately knew it was right for her and fell in love with the funky music and awesome choreography. Mary took dance classes since the age of 5 and up through high school. Dance Trance has brought back those old memories and good times. Mary is a recent University of Florida graduate and future Target Pharmacist. She says "DT has been the best workout and stress reliever ever!" Mary is looking forward to leading classes and is excited about her future with Dance Trance Gainesville.

Marissa Leahy 
Marissa moved to Florida in 2003 from Pennsylvania where she was a competitive dance cheerleader. After school was over, Marissa was lost without her daily stress relief (dancing). When she moved to Florida she struggled to find a place to dance and have fun. It took a year of being in Gainesville to run in to Melissa at O'rion's Gym. After the first Dance Trance class, she knew she had finally found what she had been longing for! Melissa has been working on training with Marissa to become a DT Instructor. Marissa is grateful for the opportunity and looks forward to representing DT Gainesville.

Natalie Gibson 
Natalie Gibson is from Springfield, VA, right outside of Washington, D.C. She earned a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA, and studied abroad at James Cook University in Townsville, Australia. She is currently working toward a Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy at the University of Florida, working at Orion Fitness and loving Dance Trance!

Shannon Eaton 
Shannon is a Florida native. She graduated in 2001 with a degree in dental hygiene and currently works as a dental hygienist. She started out dancing as a majorette in high school. When she moved on to college, she took up ballet, jazz, and modern dance. She performed with the Santa Fe Dance Theatre for several years. After graduating she searched for a fun group to dance with and finally found it at the Orion gym in July 2006 with Dance Trance and is now hooked! Shannon is thrilled to be a part of the Dance Trance family.
