Alyce M. Bell is one of the dance pioneers to introduce ballroom dancing to Cleveland in February 2001. She is a certified ballroom instructor. After mastering that dance, she then took on Chicago Stepping in 2003 and spent many hours traveling to Chicago and Detroit to Step. That became the second dance she helped launch in her home town of Cleveland.
She is the mother of 3 and a doting grandmother. Dancing seemed to come easy to her as she transitioned her accomplished roller skating skills onto the dance floor. She holds close to her life-long friends that include classmates from John Adams High School.
She is known by all as a big supporter of all dance groups and welcomes with open arms all dancers. Alyce is respected for her dance, her big heart and for always being so stylishly dressed.
The Dance Family Thanks You for laying the foundation and growing the dance.
Your Contributions and Efforts Have Been Recognized.
Alyce M Belle
