Miss Brittney Ann S Benson is the owner and main dance instructor at Modern Movement Dance Studio. Miss Brittney Ann started to dance at a very young age. " At the age of two I would put Brittney in the play pen in front of the TV. As soon as music came on she started to dance all around with a great big grin on her face. It was a great way to occupy her time. She was born to dance!"~ Joann Benson
