Isabella Capps

Bella began dancing at just three years old in Southern California, training across a variety of styles before quickly discovering her passion for classical ballet and tap. As a teenager, she began competing in ballet and contemporary, spending years developing a strong foundation in classical technique. Her dedication and hard work earned her team multiple Technique Awards and First Overall placements at state competitions, ultimately leading them to YAGP Nationals in New York.

​

While pursuing the pre-med track at Johns Hopkins University, where she earned her B.A. in Behavioral Biology, Bella stepped away from competitive dance—but quickly realized just how much she missed the connection, creativity, and joy that dance brought to her life. That realization led her back to the studio, where she began teaching at a dance studio in Baltimore, Maryland, alongside her work as a Neuropsychology Research Assistant.

​

Over four years of teaching, Bella has had the opportunity to work with dancers of all ages and abilities. She loves sharing the strong classical ballet and tap foundation that shaped her own dance journey while helping each student build confidence, discover their individuality, and find their own joy in movement.

​

Since then, Bella has continued to expand her experience through work as a medical intern in a hospital in Uganda and as a Behavior Technician in Boston, where she provided direct therapy to children on the autism spectrum.

Bella is thrilled to bring her passion for dance, teaching, and working with children to the Mary Flynn Murphy Dance Studio. She looks forward to inspiring her students and helping them discover the same love of dance that has been such an important part of her own life!
