Audrey and June were both born and educated in Philadelphia. Audrey Donaldson, Ed.D/CI, is an educator with over 20 years of teaching experience. June Donaldson began his teaching career in 2003 as a Philly Bop and Cha-Cha instructor. Since then, they have added Smooth Style Ballrooming, Chicago Stepping for Beginners, Philly Strand, and Line Dancing to the list of dance styles offered. Together they share the joy of dance as they provide public and private dance instruction and choreography services.

“Philly Bop” is at the center of Audrey and June’s instructional journey. ‘The Bopologists’ promote the “Philly Bop” as the Official Dance of Philadelphia through local dance classes and as they travel to dance conferences and events in other states. Audrey and June have also shared the “Philly Bop” worldwide via Youtube, through their book, “How to Dance: Philly Bop – A 6 count Dance,” and via website – Dancinginphilly.com.

Both Audrey and June face the challenges of teaching with an understanding that dance is a process that requires a range of instructional techniques to address a variety of learning styles. They approach learning, creativity, and teaching with dance foundation at the forefront. Most of all, they dance for the love of it!
