Miss Bella

Hi, I'm Issabella Thornton, also known as Miss Bella. I have been dancing for over 15 years, beginning my training at just two years old. Throughout my journey, I developed a deep appreciation for discipline, technique, and the artistry behind dance.

Over the years, I've taken on leadership roles including team captain, assistant coach, and student instructor, while also gaining experience working within studio environments as both a teacher and receptionist. These roles allowed me to understand not only how to train strong dancers, but how to support and guide them in a positive, structured environment.

Coastal Wave Dance Academy was created from my passion for bringing back a strong foundation in dance where technique, discipline, and confidence are at the center of every class. I believe dancers thrive when they are given clear structure, proper training, and an environment that encourages both growth and self-expression.

My goal is to help each dancer build confidence through strong fundamentals, while creating a space that feels uplifting, inspiring, and rooted in the rhythm of the coast.
