Mercedes

Hi, I'm Mercedes, one of the instructors here at SkyFit! I was born and raised in Kentucky before relocating to Charlotte to pursue my career in dentistry, and dance has been a constant throughout my whole journey.

I've been dancing since age 6, competing in studios and on my high school dance team before going on to dance at Western Kentucky University, where I earned All-American honors and served as Team Captain. I've been teaching dance across multiple styles for over 10 years, working with studios, high schools, and colleges along the way.

I found SkyFit while looking for a place in Charlotte to keep my love for dance alive, and I fell in love with this community from my very first class. Now I get to dance alongside you AND lead the room. I couldn't be more excited to be here!
