Miss Nancy began her dance journey at the tender age of two and a half. Her mom started her in kindertap, and that is where she attributes tap dance as her favourite genre. She studied all styles of dance, and then got the theatre bug, at the age of ten. From then on, throughout her teens, she studied vocal training, with the Royal Conservatory of Music, attaining all grades of syllabus. Nancy has played many leading roles, throughout the Niagara Region, all the while, taking dance and drama workshops from her New York directors. She began her Post-Secondary education at the age of seventeen at Sheridan College studying Musical Theatre. She also studied Dance and Opera in Toronto, landing her first professional song and dance gig, at the age of eighteen.

Janice Luey, Miss Nancy’s big sister, founded the studio in 1972. After twelve years, Janice wanted to try her hand in Toronto, and asked her sister if she would come home and run things in her absence. Miss Nancy did, realized how much she loved teaching and mentoring Niagara’s youth, and acquired the studio from Janice, one year later. Fast forward to today, Miss Nancy just celebrated her fortieth season at the helm of the studio (2024).

To continue her passion today, Miss Nancy teaches Drama and Musical Theatre, among all other styles of dance. She has guest taught at numerous elementary and secondary schools throughout the DSBN, and continues to assist with choreographing school musicals. She has taught off-ice to figure skaters, and has judged many interpretive skating competitions. Miss Nancy has also acted as Chair at the St. Catharines Kiwanis Music Vocal Competitions. Over the years, Miss Nancy has continued her own education and training through workshops in Toronto.
