Meet Your Instructor
A lifetime of dance,
shared with you.
Mary Owens has been dancing since the age of three. What began as a child's joy quickly became a lifelong calling — one that took her from the bright lights of the Orange Bowl to the stages of national competitions, and earned her a coveted teaching scholarship at just 15.
Today, Mary brings more than twenty years of experience to every dancer she meets. She is certified through Dance Educators of America in tap, jazz, ballet, modern, and acrobatics, and also serves as a certified Health Coach and Stretching & Flexibility Instructor — caring for the whole dancer, body and spirit.
You'll find her teaching at The Kroc Center in Coeur d'Alene, and now offering private and small-group instruction through Mary's Dance Unlimited.
"My mission is simple — to inspire, uplift, and awaken the dancer within you."
