Hey Ladies, My name is Lia and I am the Founder and Owner of Contempo Dance Club. This dance club is a huge passion for me and I am beyond excited to share it with you.

After a prolonged and unsuccessful search for somewhere I could learn to dance, or even dance for fun, I decided to open one on my own! This club is for you! If you are looking to socialize and make friends, want to learn a new dance style, or if you’re simply after a great workout, look no further than Contempo!

​

You will leave feeling fantastic physically and emotionally – That is our commitment! I look forward to connecting with each and every one of you.

Malerie

Instructor

My name is Malerie Urquiola and I was born in Miami, Florida and raised in Naples. I have been dancing all my life and have practiced and competed with many different styles of dance, like ballet, tap, hip hop, salsa, heels, ect.  However, my passion has always been in hip hop. I have been a dance instructor at Contempo Dance for 3 years and I love everything they represent. They are very accommodating and understanding of their clients and staff members, They give the instructors flexibility to change their style of dance or methods of running their classes, giving each class a different experience. Most importantly, they are strong advocates in bringing women and do a wonderful job empowering women through dance.

My favorite mantra is “mind over matter.”

Abby

Social Media Manager

Hey ladies! My name is Abby and I am the social media manager here at Contempo Dance Club! I started as an intern in December of 2019 and fell in love with Contempo’s mission to empower and uplift women in the Naples, FL area through dance and an amazing community of women. I’m currently a senior at Washington State University studying Strategic Communications and I’m living in beautiful Jacksonville, FL.  I love to draw, read (especially if it’s at the beach), binge a good Netflix series and try every new restaurant I possibly can. I’m also a sucker for a good iced coffee. My favorite thing about working with Contempo is creating content to let people know about our amazing classes & working with our Intern Daria to give her guidance in her own digital marketing career. 🌟

My name is Daria, I’m 19, and I’m located in Tampa, Florida. I am Contempo’s Social Media Intern, meaning I manage Contempo’s social media channels and reply to you ladies on social media for the most part! My hobbies include tending to my 30+ plants and I’ve also recently taken up embroidery. My favorite color is green and my favorite food (drink?) is an iced oat milk latte. My favorite thing about Contempo is how supportive everyone is- it’s a great environment for growth. It’s been a lot of fun to be a part of the team and I look forward to seeing the Contempo family grow!
